IUCN Save Our Species

IUCN Save Our Species aims to improve the long-term survival prospects of threatened species. It also focuses on supporting the species habitats and working with the communities who share this habitat. It achieves success by funding and coordinating conservation projects into multiple initiatives across the globe.  

IUCN Save Our Species, co-funded by the European Union supports IFAW’s Protecting Panda Masuie project in Zimbabwe. The agencies help contribute to ensuring rangers tasked with protecting the Panda Masuie Forestry Reserve have the skills, training and equipment they need to protect many animal species - including a number included on the IUCN Red List - from wildlife crime. The project also supports initiatives that support the well-being of communities and ensure they are able to coexist peacefully with wildlife.
