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.
The new Global Member Data dashboard in ZIMS provides a centralized platform to view species data at a global or institutional level.
