The 18 NCP types described in IPBES 2019 (ref. 17) are classified as regulating, material or nonmaterial. b, Each of these NCP types is either directly or indirectly supported by wildlife functions. In some cases, WCP and NCP overlap as wildlife’s contributions are already recognized as NCP. WCP can contribute to NCP positively and/or negatively (indicated by arrows).

Chaplin-Kramer and colleagues argue that wildlife are central to human well-being but often overlooked in policy and management. go.nature.com/4jdjVbv

Diagram depicting wildlife’s contributions to people (WCP) and their connection to nature’s contributions to people (NCP). Wildlife plays critical roles through actions like predation, herbivory, scavenging, and ecosystem engineering, directly and indirectly by supporting services such as habitat creation, climate regulation, pollination, food production, and cultural identity, while maintaining ecosystem balance. Designed by Sylvia Heredia.

Wildlife contributes to human well-being and values in visible and invisible ways that are under-recognized or dominated by conflict narratives. We review these critical contributions and what research and policy is needed to protect them: www.nature.com/articles/s44...
