Sumario:Intensified human activities are causing ever-growing threats to biodiversity, including humans and ecosystem services. Conversely, evidence showing the multiple benefits and socio-economic values of ecosystem services and goods is increasing substantially. A fundamental societal revolution is urgently needed to preserve the health of populations of living beings, communities and ecosystems. The present article aims to convey that the multidimensional (sanitary, social, economic, political, ecological and ideological) crisis we are facing should force us to build bridges and exchanges between science, the public and politics — an essential prerequisite to implement coherent and sustainable biodiversity, public health and education policies on both local and global scales.
