How –The strategy

Reverse the Red's strategy seeks to work with key partners around the world to achieve the following objectives:

  • Mobilizing national networks: Increase capacity at the national level for target-based biodiversity assessments, planning and action; by bringing together RtR networks of National Species Specialist Groups, Species Survival Centers, government agencies and civil society partners to jointly address national biodiversity priorities and achieve the goals of the Global Biodiversity Framework.
  • Empowering communities: Motivate diverse communities to feel hopeful and take action to protect biodiversity. 
  • Measuring impact: Create a platform that facilitates the integration of tools that combine measurements of progress and prioritization to contribute meaningful and standardized data that synergizes with Convention of Biological Diversity efforts.
  • Amplifying success: Create and showcase stories that  celebrate best practices, key learnings and impactful results which resonate and generate optimism and hope for undertaking species conservation projects
