Abstract:
This paper reflects on the role of urgency, fear and disbelief in tackling biodiversity loss. While biodiversity loss has been extensively investigated in the scientific literature, the management community has paid limited attention to it as a critical business issue separate from the broader challenge of climate change. This study juxtaposes institutional theory and the managerial cognition perspective to unpack differences in the cognitive and emotional frames concerning the issue, and consequent variations in approaches to conservation practices and business initiatives to stymie biodiversity loss.
