Chaplin-Kramer and colleagues argue that wildlife are central to human well-being but often overlooked in policy and management. go.nature.com/4jdjVbv

The 18 NCP types described in IPBES 2019 (ref. 17) are classified as regulating, material or nonmaterial. b, Each of these NCP types is either directly or indirectly supported by wildlife functions. In some cases, WCP and NCP overlap as wildlife’s contributions are already recognized as NCP. WCP can contribute to NCP positively and/or negatively (indicated by arrows).
