Why Data Matters for Saving Species: Species360 and the Extinct in the Wild Action Partnership

Around the world, a growing number of species now exist only because a zoo, aquarium, or conservation organisation continues to care for them, they are lost entirely from nature. These are the species formally listed by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as extinct in the wild (EW), taxa that survive exclusively in human care or in managed settings. For these species, the work of ex situ conservation institutions is critical to their survival.
