Land-sparing vs. land-sharing
• Basic idea: reconciling the trade-off between
biodiversity conservation and food production
• Main focus of AG
– Synergies and trade-offs between protecting rare species
and functionally important species
– Exposing the scale-agnostic nature of land-sparing
versus land-sharing
Aims of the action group
• Scientific output
– Conceptual model on trade-offs and synergies between
protecting rare species and ecosystem service providers
– Synthesis/review on land sparing benefiting biodiversity
and ecosystem service providers
– (Policy brief)
– International workshop
Action groups and collaboration?
• How did you consider collaboration
– Presenting ideas on cluster meetings, workshops and
joint AG meetings
– (Serendipity)
