About GSAP SKILLS Platform:

Global Species Action Plan (GSAP), the Species Conservation Knowledge, Information, Learning, Leverage and Sharing (SKILLS) platform brings the GSAP’s content online and allows the updating of technical tools and resources in real time.
It aims to facilitate global collaboration and partnership, connecting decision makers, species conservation practitioners and experts at all levels.
The platform provides real-time updates on technical tools and resources, ensuring accessibility and relevance.
- Each Global Biodiversity Framework target is accompanied by a brief summary and rationale for species conservation interventions, actions, and sub-actions, actors and technical tools and resources for those actions, facilitating the scaling-up of implementation efforts.
This platform is managed proactively by IUCN to meet the needs from governments and all stakeholders to take actions for species.
The development of the GSAP SKILLS platform has been principally supported by Ministry of Environment, Republic of Korea, with additional resources from the Tech4Nature Initiative launched by IUCN and Huawei in 2020.
