Special feature: biodiversity: a new deal for nature. Biodiversity makes life possible. It nurtures us, provides umpteen health benefits and even offers many opportunities for jobs and economic growth (tourism, green technologies, conservation efforts etc.). Whether it be a pristine sandy coast with crystal clear water, a windswept and wild Brontean moor, a tropical rainforest bursting with life or even your local park at the end of your street, humans exist in a complex and increasingly fragile symbiotic relationship with the nature and biodiversity all around us.
