Why attend

Participants should attend this session if they are interested in learning more about how IUCN’s global standard for measuring species recovery, the Green Status of Species, works. Participants will learn how the assessment determines where species are on the road to recovery, and how conservation actions have made a difference.

Session Description

In this drop-in session, participants can come by at their own pace and choose from examples of published species Green Status assessments to learn from. With visually engaging, self-guided materials, participants will be able to see, from start to finish, how the Green Status assessment for the animal, plant, or fungi example was determined. Checkpoint questions will encourage reflection along the example, and scientists working on the Green Status will be on hand to facilitate the examples, answer questions, and discuss the ideas and potential applications with participants.
