If 41-60% of species were lost, the impact on biomass production was much greater, for example, it fell by around 13% across terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems if 50% of species are lost.

Habitat conservation
Habitat conservation is a land management practice that seeks to conserve, protect and restore habitat areas for wild plants and animals, especially conservation reliant species, and prevent their extinction, fragmentation or reduction in range. It is a priority of many groups that cannot be easily characterized in terms of any one ideology.
