Feature: Addressing the biodiversity losses embedded in global commodity trade
With an increasing range of data, methods and tools now available, SEI is at the forefront of research to understand how these embedded biodiversity losses flow through global supply chains.
Making explicit links between our consumption and biodiversity losses is challenging. We can only ever approximate its true value, which includes not only all of the diversity within and between species, and even the genetic differences between individual organisms, but also the myriad interactions between them that create entire ecosystems on which humanity ultimately depends.
With its network of collaborators and partners, SEI is working to solve this challenge through a range of projects that help elucidate the biodiversity risks of commodity supply chains by showing where and how the commodities are produced.
