Indirect drivers of biodiversity loss

The main indirect drivers of biodiversity loss are the unsustainable patterns of production, consumption, resource use and trade underlying the direct drivers [of biodiversity loss]. These patterns are entrenched in societal values and behaviors and can only be tackled via transformative change: i.e., fundamental, system-wide reorganization across technological, economic and social factors, including paradigms, goals and values.
