Conservation giants announce biodiversity partnership

The key to saving wildlife is to protect the places they live in. In Hawaii in early September, 11 of the largest conservation organizations came together to create the Key Biodiversity Area or KBA Partnership, less than a month after US President Barack Obama expanded the boundaries of one of the world’s largest marine protected areas.

The world’s leading conservation organizations including the WWF, Conservation International, BirdLife International & the IUCN, the latter two of which the Haribon Foundation is a member, launched a partnership to map, monitor, and conserve the most important places for life on earth: Key Biodiversity Areas.
