Our Continuing Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

At Species360, our mission to support global species conservation and care is strengthened by our team’s diverse perspectives, experiences, backgrounds, and talents. We believe that fostering an inclusive culture is not just a policy—it is essential to our success, to the impact of our work, and to the future of conservation.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are about more than representation. They are about ensuring that every individual – regardless of background, identity, or lived experience – has the opportunity to contribute meaningfully, be heard, and thrive. We know biodiversity’s challenges are complex and require innovation, creativity, and collaboration across cultures and disciplines. A diverse and global team enhances our ability to solve problems, make better decisions, and serve our global community more effectively.

Creating an inclusive workplace requires ongoing effort, thoughtful dialogue, and accountability. We are committed to:

• Building a culture of belonging where all employees feel valued, respected, and empowered to contribute.
• Embedding DEI in our policies and decision-making to ensure fairness and opportunity at every level.
• Encouraging open conversations to understand different perspectives and create an environment of continuous learning.
• Strengthening partnerships with conservation organizations worldwide that reflect the rich diversity of the communities we serve.
• Continuously improving our DEI practices by listening, learning, and evolving our approach to be more effective and impactful. We have much to learn.

DEI is not separate from the Species360 mission – it is fundamental to it. Being a more inclusive and diverse organization makes us more effective in our work, more resilient as a team, and more aligned with the global conservation movement. As DEI initiatives face increasing challenges, we remain steadfast in our commitment and invite you to stand with us in championing diversity, equity, and inclusion.

We invite you to join this ongoing journey, contributing your voices to the conversation, and helping us shape a future where people and wildlife thrive.
