Impact Factors: Habitat transformation
Both the extensive cultivation of natural habitats and their fragmentation force changes in existing ecosystems. This also involves the destruction of habitats in coastal and marine systems, for example, through the use of bottom trawling.
Fields of action
Fields of action in can be identified and set by analysing where a company’s activities have a either direct or indirect influence on biodiversity. The spatial relation to biological diversity is intuitively connected to the sites and facilities field of action. Corporate activities influence biodiversity in other ways though as well.
