Allen’s Vulcan Philanthropy, Dune recently launched Movements That Matter (MTM), a strategic advisory services firm.

About The Theme

The objective of our panel is to spark new ideas for innovative partnerships that can result in transformational changes to protect wildlife from extinction.

This year, the theme for the United Nations World Wildlife Day is “Partnerships for Wildlife Conservation”. Wildlife is disappearing at an alarming rate. According to data from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, over 8,400 species of wild fauna and flora are critically endangered. Close to 30,000 more are understood to be endangered or vulnerable. Based on these estimates, it is suggested that over a million species are threatened with extinction.

It will need all of our collaborative efforts to reduce those threats and help save wildlife from extinction. We urgently need partnerships to bring together organizations, countries, people, and groups to come up with new transformative ideas to drive change in order to save our wildlife.
