A bomb cyclone hit the east of Australia on July 1st, but not even a catastrophic weather event was able to stop dedicated protectors of nature from attending our Species Survival Symposium starting on July 2nd.


Despite the havoc, cancelled flights, and transport chaos, over 140 people from all sectors still made it to Taronga Zoo to address the challenges of achieving No New Extinctions and driving species recovery in Australia.


We are also grateful to the 70+ people who participated online and via the livestream.


Coming up next:


Video clips from the livestream will be uploaded to this youtube playlist:


Powerpoint slides from the presentations will be uploaded and shared on the event webpage: https://www.aciucn.org.au/species-survival-symposium


Final report: we are currently compiling all of the insights, recommendations and feedback from participants, and we will release a report of these findings soon.


In the meantime, thank you again to all of our sponsors, partners, presenters, facilitators, collaborators, and all of our attendees for joining us and helping us deliver this critically important and urgent gathering.
