An index of 100 is the situation when total land area is undomesticated and all pressures are below the minimum threshold (see technical annex). Reduction in the Natural Capital Index indicates habitat loss and increasing pressure on terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity. As the pressure from agriculture stabilizes and starts to decrease, the general biodiversity situation in Europe over 30 years does not deviate much from the present.
