Thomas E. Lovejoy, "the Godfather of Biodiversity" passed away on December 25, 2021.
I first met him during the early discussions about a global convention to protect biodiversity - what became the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Lovejoy is credited with coining the term “biological diversity” in 1980, developing the concept of “debt-for-nature” swap programs, and being one of the earliest to sound the alarm about the global extinction crisis. He was 80.
