This Threatened Species Day, join us for a conversation that dares to ask: what if saving species meant more than simply keeping them alive?

Too often, threatened species projects are designed in isolation, focused on immediate risks, quick wins, or tightly scoped recovery goals. But what if these projects could do more? What if they could spark lasting change, not just for the species themselves, but for the systems that threaten them?

In this webinar, we’ll explore how species-focused initiatives are being reimagined as powerful catalysts for transformation, projects that look upstream, connect across sectors, and drive deeper impact for ecosystems, communities, and future generations.

You’ll hear from a diverse panel of conservation practitioners, each bringing a unique perspective on how they’ve approached threatened species conservation differently: integrating social, cultural, ecological, and economic systems to deliver more durable outcomes.

Panelists:

- Simon Mustoe - Wildiaries and author of “ How to Survive the Next 100 years”

- Marc Oremus - ShellBank Project, WWF France

- Tia Bool - Project Restore, Sydney Institute of Marine Science

- Matt Singleton - CEO, Odonata Foundation

Following the presentations, our panelists will come together for a moderated discussion, exploring the big questions:

How do we move beyond symptom management?

What does truly transformational conservation look like?

And how can we design projects that create impact long after the funding ends?

We’ll then open the floor to your questions, so bring your curiosity, your challenges, and your appetite for a better way forward.

This is not your usual Threatened Species Day panel. If you’re tired of treating symptoms and ready to design for impact that sticks, this conversation is for you.
