With one more decade to go until we reach our 100th birthday, we’re outlining our approach to conservation by setting some bold targets and sharing our road map for achieving them by 2031 – Our Conservation Masterplan.
Join us for an hour of discussion with some of the people leading our approach to preventing extinction through working with Populations, People, Policy, and Places for Wildlife, hosted by the BBC’s Science & Environment Correspondent, Victoria Gill.
Attendance is completely free, and we’d absolutely love to hear your questions about our plan for the future. Do take the opportunity to ask a question in the sign-up link below, or talk to us directly on the night.
