Species extinctions continue to increase at an alarming rate. In response, new terminologies and concepts to inform stakeholders of the consequences and engage them in actions to reverse this decline have been developed (i.e. biodiversity, ecosystem services, nature’s contributions to people). Implementing these concepts and definitions requires different measurements, monitoring and evaluation. Together we will cross-map these concepts highlighting similarities and differences in measurements, monitoring and evaluation; and opportunities at the conceptual and measurement nexus where implementation would provide co-benefits to nature and people. A novel outcome of this session is the participant developed guidelines to navigate the maze of terminologies and concepts on nature-people relationships providing clarity on appropriate measures for targeted conservation or sustainable use.
