EUROPEAN SPECIES INITIATIVE (ESI)

Empowering Zoos and aquaria to Lead Conservation Efforts for European Species

Welcome to European species conservation initiative your go-to resource for prioritizing conservation efforts focused on European species. As a platform designed for European zoo and aquaria professionals, conservation specialists, researchers, and wildlife educators, we provide the essential tools and knowledge needed to protect Europe’s unique biodiversity

Our mission is simple: to empower zoos and aquaria across Europe to play a leading role in conserving endangered native species. By connecting conservation professionals and providing practical resources, we aim to help institutions develop and implement effective conservation strategies tailored to European ecosystems.

Please note that the project is currently under development. Some features and resources may not be fully available yet, but we are actively working to build this platform. Future updates will include additional workshops, more case studies, and a Starter Kit to guide your conservation efforts. Stay tuned for new content!
