Conservation and sustainable development in a VUCA world: the need for a systemic and ecosystem‐based approach

Targeting the maintenance of functional ecosystems that provide the significant basis for human well‐being is an integral part of an ecosystem‐based sustainable development. Underlying causes of ecosystem degradation such as global climate change and ever‐growing human demands that rapidly shift soc...
