The World Species Congress, hosted by Reverse the Red, will amplify our collective conservation efforts and facilitate critical connections that accelerate our impact for species.
Reverse the Red is a coalition of organizations, groups, and agencies co-chaired by IUCN Species Survival Commission and the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums, committed to accelerating and amplifying successful species recovery efforts through collaboration, innovation, and national capacity support.
196 countries committed to the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, agreeing to meet Target #4 by 2030, where
Threatened species are recovering, genetic diversity is being maintained and human-wildlife conflict is being managed.
The World Species Congress offers a forum for collaboration and a roadmap for success for anyone striving to create a healthier planet. We will celebrate and learn from successful strategies, tools, and partnerships in order to replicate, amplify, and accelerate action.
