Waves crash gently along the rocky edge of the coast, and scattered patches of blue sky peek through the clouds. The overall mood is calm and atmospheric.

A wide landscape view taken from a hilltop, showing a single large eucalyptus tree standing prominently in the foreground. The ground is dry and patchy with sparse grasses and small plants. Mist or low-lying fog blankets the valley below, partially covering the wooded hills and suburban areas in the distance. The sky above is clear and blue, with a few wisps of cloud, suggesting a cool early morning in an Australian bush reserve.

This talk presents findings from a global meta-analysis of 186 studies assessing biodiversity outcomes over time. It shows that in two-thirds of cases, conservation actions improved biodiversity or slowed its decline. Results highlight the effectiveness of targeted interventions such as invasive species control, habitat restoration, and protected areas—while calling for a transformational scale-up to meet global nature targets.
