At Synchronicity Earth, we believe that diversity should flourish. Diversity of species, of ecosystems, of cultures. Developing strong partnerships and aligning what we do with individuals, groups and movements that have conserving diversity – both biological and cultural – at their heart is the best way to bring positive change on the scale that is needed. The people behind the organisations below share our love for the natural world. We are proud to call them our friends.

Action for Conservation is a UK charity using pioneering approaches to inspire and empower young people, aged 12-18, from diverse backgrounds to become the next generation of nature conservationists.

56% of UK species are in decline, over 50% of people are unaware of biodiversity loss and 79% of children lack adequate connections to nature. We know that young people without strong connections to nature are less likely to fight to protect it as adults and suffer negative impacts on their learning, behaviour and wellbeing. Yet interventions often focus on young children, rather than young people as they solidify opinions and behaviours that will shape their careers and adult lives. Action for Conservation fills this gap, partnering with conservation organisations like the National Trust and Synchronicity Earth to empower young people to create change in their communities and participate in environmental decision making. They believe that being a ‘conservationist’ can’t just mean following a career as a field biologist or a campaigner, but that a passion for conservation can flow through anyone’s life, whatever their day-job. They want to inspire today’s young people to a long-term belief in the wonder of the natural world, which will shape their dreams and actions however their life turns out.

The IUCN SSC Asian Species Action Partnership (ASAP) was formed to address the conservation crisis unfolding in Southeast Asia and in particular the high number of threatened species on the brink of extinction.

ASAP is an inter-institutional coalition which brings together organisations in an effort to focus attention on a region that, without more serious conservation intervention, will see the demise of much of its unique diversity. ASAP aims to reverse the declines of the most threatened land and freshwater vertebrates in Southeast Asia by focusing much needed conservation action for these species through (i) raising additional funding to initiate and support conservation action; (ii) raising the profile of the urgent conservation needs; (iii) improving conservation capacity and leadership in the region; and (iv) catalysing effective conservation action.

The Species Survival Commission (SSC) plays a leading role in enabling IUCN to be the world’s most authoritative voice on behalf of global biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of natural resource use.

Vision

A just world that values and conserves nature through positive action to prevent the loss of diversity of life on earth.

Goal

The SSC will strive to ensure that the species extinction crisis and massive loss of biodiversity are universally adopted as a shared responsibility, and addressed by all sectors of society taking conservation action, and avoiding negative impacts worldwide.

Objectives:

  1. Assessing and monitoring the status of biodiversity, especially at the species level
  2. Analysing and communicating the threats to biodiversity, especially at the species level
  3. Developing policies and guidelines to advance nature conservation
  4. Facilitating conservation planning f
