Science journalism and a multi-directional science-policy-society dialogue are needed to foster public awareness for biodiversity and its conservation

Abstract: Biodiversity is the manifestation of life on our planet and provides manifold benefits for
humans. Yet we destroy ecosystems and drive species to extinction. We submit that anthro-
pogenic biodiversity loss does not yet receive sufficient public attention, although biodiver-
sity conservation and its sustainable use are key to mitigate global crises. Effective
communication of biodiversity-related knowledge with diverse audiences is therefore crucial
and should contribute to ensuring that evidence guides environmental decision-making. In
this context, it is essential to stimulate multi-directional dialogues between science, policy,
and society. Here, we suggest Dos and Don’ts that can guide science communication for
scientists working in biodiversity research and beyond. Moreover, we emphasize the role of
science journalism and other institutions specialized in science communication in critically
mediating the complexity of scientific knowledge
