Economic and social development is highly dependent on biodiversity and the ecosystem services associated with it.The continuous loss of biodiversity not only affects industries such as agriculture,forestry,animal husbandry,and fisheries,which are highly dependent on the output of ecological products,but also has a negative impact on the financial industry and capital markets(holding assets that are highly dependent on ecosystem services).Faced with the severe dilemma of biodiversity loss,the capital input from government is difficult to alleviate the continuous financial pressure.Therefore,exploring effective ways to leverage social capital investment in biodiversity conservation and forming a closed-loop link between biodiversity and social capital will become an important issue for biodiversity conservation under the current economic situation.This paper collected and sorted out pilot cases of social capital participation in biodiversity conservation,categorizing them into three models:financial institution support,social public welfare investment,and regulatory guidance.It analyzed and evaluated the strengths and challenges of these models in leveraging social capital by focusing on specific financial instruments and institutional approaches.Furthermore,the paper offered policy recommendations on how to introduce social capital into the domain of biodiversity conservation and foster a healthy and robust financial market for biodiversity conservation.
