The purpose of this article is to stimulate research on business strategies for biodiversity protection. To that end, we first dispel a common misperception among business scholars that biodiversity loss is caused by only a few industries, clarifying that it is driven by practically all. Further, we organize corporate biodiversity protection strategies into four categories based on temporal and spatial dimensions, namely, conservation, restoration, compensation, and reparation. Finally, we illustrate the unsettled nature of the field and the continuing debates among conservation biologists about the best approaches to biodiversity management. We argue that (i) a firm's biodiversity protection strategy should aim to mitigate the primary driver through which the firm causes biodiversity loss; (ii) firms should report performance in each of the four biodiversity protection strategies separately; and (iii) interdisciplinary collaborations among corporate sustainability scholars and conservation biologists are critical to developing effective biodiversity protection strategies.

商业与生物多样性之间的不舒服关系：推进生物多样性保护商业战略研究

本文的目的是促进对生物多样性保护商业策略的研究。为此，我们首先消除商业学者中的一个普遍误解，即生物多样性丧失仅由少数行业造成，并澄清它实际上是由所有行业造成的。进一步，我们根据时间和空间维度将企业生物多样性保护策略分为保护、恢复、补偿和修复四类。最后，我们说明了该领域不稳定的性质以及保护生物学家之间关于生物多样性管理最佳方法的持续争论。我们认为（i）公司的生物多样性保护战略应旨在减轻公司造成生物多样性丧失的主要驱动因素；(ii) 企业应分别报告四项生物多样性保护战略的绩效；(iii) 企业可持续发展学者和保护生物学家之间的跨学科合作对于制定有效的生物多样性保护战略至关重要。
