“It doesn’t come in an envelope or hit your bank account immediately. But I guarantee you’re paying for it in some form.” Nature loss drives up costs. Protecting it isn’t just about wildlife; it’s a smart economic choice. Read our CEO, Kristian Teleki's full article: www.weforum.org/stories/2025...

Is there a hidden tax to nature’s destruction?
Nature and biodiversity often lose to economic growth projects but besides planetary consequences, destruction could cost individuals and society more.
