Rewilding Life: Responding to the Biodiversity-Poverty Relationship with Agroforestry and Ecosystem Services for Sustainable Communities

The problems of human and environmental well-being are inseparable. In order to protect both, we must understand and target the relationship between the two. Biodiversity is a crucial component of ecosystem health, yet as we degrade land, we undermine and disrupt biodiversity. Though research about the relationship between biodiversity and poverty is still new, there are key clear overlaps between the two-most often, areas of high biodiversity exist in low-income rural areas that experience high poverty. 1 Agriculture contributes to this relationship-it is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss yet is a crucial system on which rural communities in lower income countries depend. Most often, the economies of these countries depend on natural resources;2 therefore, when we degrade the latter through development, we threaten lives and livelihoods. Sustainable development is the organizing principle by which we can meet human development goals while simultaneously supporting the ability of the natural environment to sustain the ecosystem services on which society, culture and economies depend3
