the implications of these losses for human livelihoods and wellbeing have raised serious concerns. with regard to the agriculture sector for example, "the state of the world’s biodiversity for food and agriculture", published by the food and agriculture organization of the united nations in 2019, states that “countries report that many species that contribute to vital ecosystem services, including pollinators, the natural enemies of pests, soil organisms and wild food species, are in decline as a consequence of the destruction and degradation of habitats, overexploitation, pollution and other threats” and that “key ecosystems that deliver numerous services essential to food and agriculture, including supply of freshwater, protection against hazards and provision of habitat for species such as fish and pollinators, are declining.”
