More about the Specialist Group
The mission of our IUCN Specialist Group is to promote the conservation of chytrids, downy mildews, myxomycetes and zygomycetes. In addition, the promotion of conservation activities for neglected groups of living organisms will provide a more comprehensive vision of how nature processes function; in particular, attention needs to be focused on discovering the role of chytrids, zygomycetes, downy mildews, and myxomycetes in people’s lives and their relationships with other species.
