Sweden and the vast majority of other countries in the world have agreed to preserve biodiversity, ie the variation of species and natural environments. Man need biodiversity as the basis for ecosystem services. Some examples of ecosystem services are carbon sequestration that slows down global warming, water purification that gives clean drinking water and pollination that increases crops.

Imagine an outbreak of a contagious animal disease. Imagine those combating the disease can travel forward in time. Imagine they do so using a simulation model that shows how the disease will continue to spread.
