Using maps to protect nature New map technologies help scientists track wildlife and their changing habitats

How maps help protect nature and keep #BiodiversityThriving: Innovations in mapping technology are rapidly transforming conservation - Blog by Emily Mills: www.worldwildlife.org/stories/how-...

Our new study (Chaplin-Kramer et al., 2025) found wildlife play critical roles in nature’s benefits to people. Wildlife’s contributions to people (WCP) support nature’s contributions to people (NCP) through actions like predation, herbivory, scavenging, and ecosystem engineering. Wild animals directly and indirectly support services such as habitat creation, climate regulation, pollination, food production, and cultural identity. Graphic designed by Sylvia Heredia.

Our new study* finds wildlife support 2/3 of nature's contributions to people, from hunting and fishing to art and music to birds eating crop pests. #Biodiversity & #conservation must include animals!
