"Atlas, dans la mythologie, représente un géant capable de tenir la Terre sur ses épaules sans en être écrasé. Mais quand Gérard Mercator publie en 1538 ce qu'il décide d'appeler un Atlas, le rapport des forces s'est complètement inversé : un "Atlas" est un ensemble de planches, imprimées sur du papier, quelque chose que l'on feuillette et que le cartographe tient dans sa main ; ce n'est plus la Terre que l'on a sur le dos et qui nous écrase, mais la Terre que l'on domine, que l'on possède et que l'on maîtrise totalement. Près de cinq siècles après, voilà que la situation s'inverse à nouveau : paraît un "Atlas" qui permet aux lecteurs de comprendre pourquoi il est tout à fait vain de prétendre dominer, maîtriser, posséder la Terre, et que le seul résultat de cette idée folle, c'est de risquer de se trouver écrasé par Celle que personne ne peut porter sur ses épaules", Bruno Latour. Changement climatique, érosion de la biodiversité, évolution démographique, urbanisation, pollution atmosphérique, détérioration des sols, catastrophes naturelles, accidents industriels, crises sanitaires, mobilisations sociales, sommets internationaux... Voici le premier atlas réunissant l'ensemble des données sur la crise écologique de notre temps."--Page 4 de la couverture

International audience ; The Convention on Biological Diversity's post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework will probably include a goal to stabilize and restore the status of species. Its delivery would be facilitated by making the actions required to halt and reverse species loss spatially explicit. Here, we develop a species threat abatement and restoration (STAR) metric that is scalable across species, threats and geographies. STAR quantifies the contributions that abating threats and restoring habitats in specific places offer towards reducing extinction risk. While every nation can contribute towards halting biodiversity loss, Indonesia, Colombia, Mexico, Madagascar and Brazil combined have stewardship over 31% of total STAR values for terrestrial amphibians, birds and mammals. Among actions, sustainable crop production and forestry dominate, contributing 41% of total STAR values for these taxonomic groups. Key Biodiversity Areas cover 9% of the terrestrial surface but capture 47% of STAR values. STAR could support governmental and non-state actors in quantifying their contributions to meeting science-based species targets within the framework.
