Por qué asistir

Come to this session to better address the conservation needs of big cats through strengthened integration across IUCN Commissions, Groups and membership; and to help IUCN leverage conservation synergies using the public appeal of big cats.

Descripción de la sesión

This session will provide an overview of big cat conservation, including status, threats, and their ecological and cultural importance. It will go on to demonstrate the need for large-scale, coordinated and integrated conservation approaches for the survival of viable and ecologically functional big cat populations. Working groups will then be established around different work streams to discuss ways in which big cat conservation can be better coordinated across IUCN, and how big cats can be leveraged to contribute to IUCN objectives and Congress themes including ecological connectivity, coexistence, habitat loss and climate change. Groups will then identify priorities for integrating big cat conservation across and within IUCN. The session will thus identify ways in which conservation can be scaled up to address the needs of big cats, and how synergies between big cat conservation and different components of IUCN can be leveraged to deliver greater impacts.
