As we enter the next phase of international policy commitments to halt biodiversity loss (e.g., Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework), biodiversity indicators will play an important role in forming the robust basis upon which targeted, and time sensitive conservation actions are developed. Population trend indicators are one of the most powerful tools in biodiversity monitoring due to their responsiveness to changes over short timescales and their ability to aggregate species trends from global down to sub-national or even local scale. We consider how the project behind one of the foremost population level indicators - the Living Planet Index - has evolved over the last 25 years, its value to the field of biodiversity monitoring, and how its components have portrayed a compelling account of the changing status of global biodiversity through its application at policy, research and practice levels. We explore ways the project can develop to enhance our understanding of the state of biodiversity and share lessons learned to inform indicator development and mobilise action.
随着我们进入阻止生物多样性丧失的国际政策承诺的下一阶段（例如《昆明-蒙特利尔全球生物多样性框架》），生物多样性指标将在形成稳健基础方面发挥重要作用，在此基础上制定有针对性的、对时间敏感的保护行动。种群趋势指标是生物多样性监测中最有力的工具之一，因为它们能对短时间尺度内的变化做出反应，并且能够汇总从全球到国家以下甚至地方尺度的物种趋势。我们思考了最重要的种群水平指标之一——《地球生命力指数》背后的项目在过去25年里是如何演变的，它对生物多样性监测领域的价值，以及其组成部分如何通过在政策、研究和实践层面的应用，令人信服地描述了全球生物多样性的变化状况。我们探索该项目可以如何发展，以增强我们对生物多样性状况的理解，并分享经验教训，为指标制定提供参考并推动行动。
