Environment and biodiversityActivities and resources Page contents Page contents Overview Conserving ecosystems and helping them flourish is vital for human and animal well-being. Nearly half of global GDP is linked to nature, and biodiversity loss is one of the top five risks to the economy. JRC's work contributes to protecting and restoring environmental balance through a prism of ‘One Health’—the concept that the health of humans, animals and the environment is intrinsically linked.
