This 2 day Symposium will bring together experts, practitioners and stakeholders to tackle Australia’s goal of No New Extinctions.

Event Rationale

• Australia supports nearly 700,000 native species, and a very high proportion of these are found nowhere else in the world. 

• Many of Australia’s native plants, animals and distinctive ecological communities are listed as threatened or endangered.

• Australia has lost more mammal species to extinction than any other continent.

Event Purpose

Australia’s National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan was updated in 2024 to include 6 national targets to address the drivers of biodiversity decline.

A key target is No New Extinctions and includes preventing new extinctions of native species, supporting the recovery of threatened species and maintaining genetic diversity. 

To help achieve this national target, we will bring together experts, practitioners and stakeholders in species conservation to explore threats, conflicts, and solutions - and recommend key actions to achieve No New Extinctions in Australia.
