Why do you think that we don't have the required knowledge?

I absolutely agree that up to date assessments are crucial to evaluate global biodiversity, but I'm not sure whether decisions which are harmful for biodiversity are based on lack of knowledge. Nevertheless I'm looking forward to read your assessments.
