Island biodiversity is changing with some species going extinct, others changing in abundance, non-native species becoming a part of many ecosystems, and humans shaping many ecological processes. On islands, habitat transformation and invasive non-native species have historically been the major threats to biodiversity, and although these threats will continue in new forms, new impacts such as human-induced climate change and sea-level rise are emerging. Following human contact, island biodiversity has sustained negative human impacts increasing in rate and magnitude as islands transitioned from primary through secondary to tertiary economies. ![]() Islands hold a disproportionate amount of the world's biodiversity, and they have also experienced a disproportionate loss of it. Biodiversity on marine islands is characterized by unique biogeographic, phylogenetic and functional characteristics.
