Description de la séance

Asian elephants are facing a critical juncture—threatened by habitat loss, conflict, poaching, and climate change. As a keystone species, their decline signals broader ecosystem degradation. This session will convene governments, conservationists, Indigenous leaders, scientists, and tech innovators to accelerate implementation of the Siem Reap Declaration (Feb 2025) and align action with CITES, CMS, and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Through dynamic dialogue, the session will spotlight scalable, inclusive solutions—leveraging frontier technologies, traditional knowledge, and cross-sector partnerships. Key themes include human-elephant coexistence, habitat restoration, community-led conservation, and financing mechanisms. The session aims to catalyze transformative, regionally driven outcomes that contribute to the SDGs and long-term survival of Asia’s elephants.
