The Stiftung Artenschutz (“Species Conservation Foundation”) is a joint initiative, currently comprising 45 respected zoos and nature conservation organisations. The foundation aims to preserve animal species (and their natural environment) which, although under severe threat of global extinction, do not have a strong enough lobby for their conservation. The Species Conservation Foundation achieves its goals through the joint initiative of currently 43 zoos and several nature conservation organisations, which provide public relations and financial support. International species conservation attains a new dimension through this concentration of specialists and funds. The work of the foundation and its partners and the sponsor commitment will be effectively communicated to over 20 million people every year. The innovative aspect of the Species Conservation Foundation’s concept is the idea of winning businesses as exclusive sponsors for a certain animal species in addition to conventional canvassing for donations and sponsorship. Support from these businesses makes it possible to implement conservation measures conceived by specialists for the highly endangered species. In return the sponsors will appear as exclusive sponsors together with their species on the Foundation Info Boards in all participating zoos, a measure which also offers great publicity. ...

The UK BAP is the UK Government's response to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) signed in 1992. It describes the UK's biological resources, and commits a detailed plan for the protection of these resources. The new UKList of Priority Species and Habitats has been published and the conservation approach for these 1150 species and 65 habitats is being developed by the statutory and non-statutory sectors. Implementation of the UK BAP is the responsibility of several groups. Find out how the UK BAP is managed, who these groups are and what work they do here. ... [Information of the supplier]

In 2001, Austria and the other EU member states already belonged to the first nations that have declared to stop the loss of biodiversity. Even though Austria has already seen considerable progress and success, more than 33% of native vertebrate species and 40% of fern and flowering plant species are endangered. The loss of species diversity is recognised by the majority of Austrians as a "serious problem" but is seen as a global and not an “Austrian” development. With this in mind, the Ministry of Life (Lebensministerium) and others initiated the “vielfaltleben” (living diversity) campaign with the following goals: with strong partners, creative PR and awareness-raising activities as well as ongoing media coverage, reach the majority of the population and make biological diversity an open topic. Numerous vielfaltleben conservation projects covering all of Austria are providing a fundamental contribution to the conservation and preservation of over 100 threatened species and habitats. We operate in close cooperation with land owners and users, businesses and local authorities, NGOs as well as stakeholders. ... [Information of the supplier, translated and modified]
The World Conference on Marine Biodiversity (WCMB) has become the major focal assembly to share research outcomes, management and policy issues, and discussions on the role of biodiversity in sustaining ocean ecosystems. Arranged on a 3 - 4 year cycle, prior WCMB meetings (Valencia, Spain; Aberdeen, Scotland; Qingdao, China) have each attracted leading specialists from around the world, and catalyzed numerous sidebar sessions on marine biodiversity issues. The 4th World Conference on Marine Biodiversity will be held at the Palais des congrès de Montréal, Québec, Canada, from May 13-16, 2018. This meeting will bring together scientists, practitioners, and policy makers to discuss and advance our understanding of the importance and current state of biodiversity in the marine environment. Through a mix of keynote sessions, contributed talks and posters, and bookable venues for focused meetings, the conference program will address marine biodiversity across a deliberately wide range of relevant sectors. Participation will be encouraged from the broadest possible range of stakeholder groups from academics to industry. ... [Information of the supplier]
