The International Union for Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) Species Survival Commission (SSC) has achieved a significant milestone by earning a Guinness World Records title, a testament to the dedication of thousands of volunteer experts from nearly every country. This accolade recognizes the SSC’s global efforts toward creating “a just world that values and conserves nature through positive action to prevent the loss and aid recovery of the diversity of life on Earth.”
Guinness World Records, the leading authority on record-breaking feats, confers titles based on rigorous criteria, including measurability, breakability, standardization, verifiability, and the establishment of a world record. The SSC’s award highlights its unparalleled impact and reach in the realm of conservation.
The #WeAreSSC network, renowned as the world’s largest volunteer conservation-science network, plays a crucial role in advancing knowledge about species’ statuses and their threats. This extensive network is instrumental in offering essential advice, formulating policies and guidelines, facilitating conservation planning, and implementing on-the-ground actions to safeguard global biodiversity.
