The IUCN’s Species Survival Commission Conservation Translocation Specialist Group (CTSG) task force for the recovery of Extinct in the Wild species presented a motion at the 2021 IUCN World Conservation Congress in France. This motion for “Improving Process and Action to Identify and Recover Extinct in the Wild Species” was officially endorsed through 95% of 115 government and 99% of 572 non-government organizations globally.

We strive to let no Extinct in the Wild species slip to extinction on our watch.  Through a growing global coalition, we will lead the restoration of the world’s most threatened group of species.  We will lead by example, turn innovative plans into courageous actions, and highlight massive potential for responsible species recovery that can yield hope for both nature and humanity.
