This volume reports key findings of the Biodiversity Program of the
Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences' Beijer Institute. The program
brought together a number of eminent ecologists and economists to
consider the nature and significance of the biodiversity problem.
In encouraging collaborative work between these closely related
disciplines it sought to shed new light on the concept of
diversity; the implications of biological diversity for the
functioning of ecosystems; the driving forces behind biodiversity
loss; and the options for promoting biodiversity conservation. The
results of the program are surprising. It is shown that the core of
the biodiversity problem is a loss of ecosystem resilience and the
insurance it provides against the uncertain environmental effects
of economic and population growth. This is as much a local as a
global problem, implying that biodiversity conservation offers
benefits that are as much local as global. The solutions as well as
the causes of biodiversity loss lie in incentives to local users.
