Umbrellas, Keystones, and Flagships: Harnessing the Power of Big Cats to Halt and Reverse Biodiversity Loss by 2030
Small Room
Learn how protecting big cats and their landscapes can achieve measurable progress on the GBF and improve well-being for people.
Big cats are drivers and indicators of biodiversity and healthy ecosystems.Their vast landscapes store huge amounts of carbon, deliver a wide range of ecosystem services, and provide critical buffers between people and wild animals that could help prevent the next global pandemic.
This event will showcase initiatives from across cat range that demonstrate how sustainably financed conservation action for big cats and their landscapes can help Parties achieve measurable progress toward the GBF goals and targets, mitigate climate change, and improve well-being for people around the world, particularly indigenous people and local communities, women and youth.
