Figure 6.2. Trade-offs between Biodiversity and Human Well-being under the Four MA Scenarios

Loss of biodiversity is least in the two scenarios that feature a proactive approach to environmental management (TechnoGarden and Adapting Mosaic). The MA scenario with the worst impacts on biodiversity (high rates of habitat loss and species extinction) is also the one with the worst impacts on human well-being (Order from Strength). A scenario with relatively positive implications for human well-being (Global Orchestration) had the second worst implications for biodiversity.
