Abstract
A recent article by Montoya et al. [idem, Planetary Boundaries for Biodiversity: Implausible Science, Pernicious Policies, Trends in Ecology & Evolution 33 (2018), no. 2, pp. 71-73] in Trends in Ecology and Evolution presents a vitriolic and highly opinionated critique of the planetary boundaries (PBs) framework based on a fundamental misrepresentation of the framework and a repetition of earlier ill-informed and misguided attacks on it. Herein we set the record straight and note more positive ways forward.
