Welcome to the Topics section of the Biodiversity Information System for Europe.
Biodiversity encompasses the richness of life and the diverse patterns it forms. It is usually considered as the diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems. Here you can find information on the state and trend of the different components of biodiversity, on threats and impacts, as wells as on benefits of ecosystem services for human well-being and on instruments implemented (responses) in order to stop the loss of biodiversity and to conserve nature.

The following flagship projects provide important information and knowledge in order to support the decision process at European level. They deal with different aspects like the biodiversity action plan (BAP), indicators (SEBI), the baseline data, ecosystem assessments, the economics of ecosystems and biodiversity (TEEB) or provide an overall view on the state of the environment in Europe (SOER).
