I think maybe because the most cost effective actions might be in rainforests where most of the biodiversity is (as i remember). This is more a political question of the countries near the equator. Most of them i dont know if there are a lot of people who know of ea in these countries (which is one of my main criticism about ea) but i believe there could be ea brasil. I would look in this direction :)
Biodiversity is a complicated subject because numbers can’t quite describe the situation. I believe it is a systemical problem with systemical solutions like going vegetarian (proveg.org).
I saw a lot of comments of why it isnt a ea subject and i believe it good to compare advantages and disadvantages (i wont elaborate on your criticism).
Advantages :
Many of humanity’s vital ressources are linked to biodiversity.
Many of the technologies that we discover come from biodiversity. Loss of biodiversity = loss of scientific information.
Biodiversity is part of a systemic problem of the biocapicity of earth (see planetary boundaries) which is neglected.
Biodiversity and climate change make more probable existancial risk because they are systemic. This means for example war, famine and epidemics wich feed of each other and is in itself an underlooked and potentialy high impact.
I agree this is an important subject !
