10 Must Dos from Biodiversity Science 2022

The authors of the 10 Must Knows from Biodiversity Science (2022, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.6257527, 10MustKnows) have developed their scientific findings further into 10 Must Dos from Biodiversity Science (10MustDos). The 10MustDos correspond with ten concrete recommendations for politicalactions that can be implemented in the short term. They are intended to serve as a guide for negotiations atthe 15th UN Biodiversity Conference (CBD COP 15, 7-19 December 2022 in Montréal). In addition, theyalso aim at supportingpractical policy-making in Germany, Europe and worldwide through well-founded scientific knowledge with the overarching goal toprotect global biodiversity and to stop the man-made extinction of species. The proposed solutions open up possibilities for action which are in alignment with the goals of the UN Decade for the Restoration of Ecosystems (2021-2030) and contribute tothe 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which are to be implemented by all statesby 2030 in order to tackle the biodiversity, climate, and equity crisis collectively.
