The poor have been identified as the group that relies heavily on biodiversity as their source of livelihood. The growing rate of both natural and man-made disasters has necessitated the need to effectively manage living species so that, in the long run, man does not suffer from the ripple effect of biodiversity loss. Biodiversity and poverty alleviation are seen as two sides of a coin, which prompts the question; what is the casual nature of this relationship? This paper aims to investigate the nature of the relationship between biodiversity management and poverty reduction and the moderating effect of technological innovation on this relationship. Data from the World Bank database for over 153 countries, drawn from eight regions around the world between 2016 and 2020, and a fixed effect model were used for the analysis. Using a composite index as a proxy for poverty reduction, our study found that efforts to conserve biodiversity hurt efforts to alleviate poverty, especially in Africa, Asia, and Australia & Oceania regions. In particular, the results suggest that technological innovation effectively modulates the tradeoff between biodiversity management and poverty reduction. This suggests that technology adoption helps resolve social, economic, and environmental inefficiencies. However, this opinion did not hold for the North American region as we found no statistical significance between these policy objectives
