Supporting implementation of the Global Biodiversity Framework – discussion panel Thursday, 28 September 2023. Reverse the Red partners are joining forces to work together at national level in order to invite key stakeholders to review the current status of in-country species conservation, listen to experiences on what is working and detect where more support is needed to make the biggest positive impact on the targets of the Global Biodiversity Framework.ĭuring this session, we will explore the SSC National Species Specialists Group model as a way to create and mobilize national capacity and to demonstrate that through clear, creative target setting, ambitious capacity building and increased collaborative action, we can reverse the negative trends in biodiversity loss. Reverse the Red is committed to supporting national players in boosting capacity and strategically achieving a tenfold reduction in species risk and rate of extinction. The CBD Global Biodiversity Framework reflects an encouraging ambition toward saving species, but in many cases, capacity continues to fall short of this vision. Reverse the Red: mobilizing national networks to contribute to CBD targets Wednesday, 27 September 2023. The objective of this session is to make visible the work carried out by CSS Argentina and CSS Brazil, and how it contributes to the conservation of biodiversity (SDG 15) by accelerating joint actions through alliances with strategic sectors (SDG 17). CSS Brazil is hosted by Parque das Aves and was founded in 2019, and CSS Argentina has been hosted by Fundación Teimakèn since 2020. Currently, there are 16 Centers worldwide, and two of them are located in South America. Strategic species conservation is being taken to a whole new level by the Reverse the Red movement through the creation of an international network of IUCN SSC Centers for Species Survival (CSS). The Center for Species Survival model works to understand the key networks, stakeholders and conservation efforts nationally to identify priority gaps in assessments, planning and action needed to save species and to ensure that efforts are connected effectively and have access to the necessary tools, capacity building and resources required to maximize impact. Reverse the Red seeks to establish and expand diverse but united species conservation networks worldwide. Reverse the Red: Collaborative species conservation efforts in South America.

David out.The central theme of the Summit will be the role and contribution of science to attaining the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and IUCN Commissions play a key role in catalyzing decisive action to halt the loss of biodiversity, directly and indirectly supporting the SDGs. Ask yourself, is it a person, a place, a thing, or an idea? And you, my friend, will be golden. So, if you're trying to figure out whether or not a word is a noun, just apply this test. Now in that sentence, size is a noun, but it's not a physical thing, it's not a person, it's not a place, it's not something you can pick up. (high-pitched murmurs) The size of Raul's plumage was astounding. Dream is maybe a little tangible 'cause it's something you can imagine, but the idea of like a word like bigness.

The reason I put in ideaĪs a fourth category is to get it stuff that you can't pick up. Relative pronouns, and they can sometimes behave like nouns, but I wouldn't call them nouns. Living being or a thing so we can say oh yes, penguin, Argentina incidentally is a country and the word country is also a noun because it is a thing. It's a kind of noun called a proper noun, just like Raul is but Now Argentina happens to be a place so therefore, it is also a noun.

What is Raul? Well, Raul is a person or a living thing so we're just gonna say person so noun. So the test is, is it a person or a living thing, a place, a thing, or an idea? And if it's any of those things, then it falls into theĬategory of words in English which we call nouns. So, I wanna take these three sentences and find the noun in them using the test. Saying that they are, that nouns are people or living things, places, things, or ideas. Make that a little bit sharper and expand that out by In traditional grammar is to say that a noun isĪ person, place or thing, which is fine, I think we can

And I know that's not anĮspecially helpful definition, but we'll get more specific in a minute. Most sentences in EnglishĬontain at least one noun or a pronoun, but we'll We're gonna begin with the noun, the lovely wonderful noun,
