COP28:
GIVE WILDLIFE A
SEAT AT THE TABLE
Form
Join us in urging World Leaders in attendance at COP28 to focus on nature based solutions and the important role that protecting our planets biodiversity has to play in combatting climate change.
We are calling for frameworks and conference conclusions to consider ALL life on earth and the interconnectivity of all species.
Add your name and join us in sending a clear message.
Help us reach our target of 10,000 people calling on World Leaders to seriously consider our planets wildlife and the biodiversity crisis during the COP28 discussions. For too long, wildlife and nature based solutions have been pushed aside, underutilised and neglected. This needs to change, before it’s too late.

What we do
At International Animal rescue, nature based solutions are at the heart of our work. From restoring and protecting precious ecosystems, to animal rescue, protection and conservation, we believe that nature, and our planets precious biodiversity, holds the key to solving some of the planets biggest societal and environmental challenges.
Our vision is a world where humans and animals can thrive together in sustainable ecosystems. The many projects that fall under our IARconserves programme show that by working WITH nature we can find solutions that are sustainable, lasting and positively impact people, animals and environment.
Our holistic approach not only prevents biodiversity loss but also contributes significantly to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, as part of the global climate solution.
Tonnes of Carbon
Through our direct intervention and projects around the world, we have protected important natural carbon stores and prevented emissions of 70 million tonnes of carbon.
Trees planted
Our community-led habitat restoration work has seen the planting of 100,000 trees, with a 99% survival rate for all planted seedlings.
Alternative livelihoods
We provide roles that focus on nature based solutions – combatting poverty and gender inequalities, in addition to reducing illegal logging and poaching activities.

What are Nature Based Solution?
Nature-based Solutions are actions to protect, sustainably manage, and restore natural and modified ecosystems that address societal challenges effectively and adaptively, simultaneously benefiting people and nature.
Nature-based Solutions address societal challenges through the protection, sustainable management and restoration of both natural and modified ecosystems, benefiting both biodiversity and human well-being. Nature-based Solutions are underpinned by benefits that flow from healthy ecosystems. They target major challenges like climate change, disaster risk reduction, food and water security, biodiversity loss and human health, and are critical to sustainable economic development.
