An index of 100 is the situation when total land area is undomesticated and all pressures are below the minimum threshold (see technical annex). Reduction in the Natural Capital Index indicates habitat loss and increasing pressure on terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity. Biodiversity is severely impacted between 2002 and 2032 in all scenarios, but especially under Security First.
