Description de la séance

Humans are inextricably linked to the survival of wildlife. The meaningful integration of human health, gender equality, effective rights-based conservation, and sustainable use of wild species lays the foundation for more effective and sustainable outcomes for nature and for people.



Developed in close collaboration with the IUCN Species Survival Commission (SSC)—particularly the CEESP-SSC Sustainable Use & Livelihoods Specialist Group (SULi) and the CEESP-SSC Biodiversity & Family Planning Task Force (B&FPTF), the Wilder Institute has led the establishment of a new Centre for Species Survival (CSS) specifically focused on the human dimensions of conservation.



Our CSS Human Dimensions will address some of the critical—but often overlooked—social and cultural aspects of conservation. Serving as a global hub for sharing resources in inclusive and multi-sectorial conservation approaches, our Centre is linking the health and livelihoods of local communities with the conservation and sustainable use of wild species.
