18th Worldwide Award for Biodiversity Conservation

A presentation of the EDGE of Existence Program, recipient of the 2022 BBVA Foundation Worldwide Award for Biodiversity Conservation.
The Zoological Society of London, founder of the program, received the award for its pioneering work in identifying the most evolutionary distinct species that are also at grave risk of extinction. Under these premises, it undertakes specific conservation actions, directed to date at 157 species in 47 countries. Its involvement in the training of young researchers at local level has succeeded in establishing a stable worldwide network of conservationists.

The BBVA Foundation Awards for Biodiversity Conservation recognize and promote the efforts of conservationist organizations, institutions, and bodies that develop environmental conservation policies or functions, as well as the work of communication professionals, in any form, who contribute to protecting our natural heritage.
