The partnership between Indianapolis Zoological Society and IUCN is to establish a Global Center for Species Survival (GCSS) at Indianapolis Zoo. This partnership aims to catalyze conservation action across the SSC network. Its main goal will be to enhance the scope and capacity for species conservation globally, supporting the efforts of nearly 10,000 SSC experts working to save threatened species worldwide (https://www.iucn.org/commissions/species-survival-commission/our-work/species-survival-alliances).
