Are you working on stopping biodiversity loss and stopping species from going extinct? Share your stories of successful conservation efforts with Reverse the Red, a global movement that ignites strategic cooperation and action to ensure the survival of wild species and ecosystems. As part of its Year of Action campaign to reverse the negative trend of biodiversity loss, they are highlighting success stories from around the world. For August and September, the focus is on mammals. Stories can look at breeding, reintroductions and rescues; community partnerships; or conservation status improvement. If you have stories, share them on social media and use the hashtags #ReverseTheRed and #NatureForAll. October and November will highlight invertebrates while December and January will focus on reptiles.
