ActionDescriptionStatus
Capacity-buildingThe SSC Freshwater Conservation Committee (FCC) has not contributed to the implementation of this Resolution, and has not been in direct communication with the organizations responsible for implementing this Resolution. However, recognizing the importance of the conservation of springs and pools globally, we have been in discussions with other IUCN partners in developing a more globally directed Motion on the conservation of springs and pools, for submission to the 2025 Congress, and the potential development of a cross-Commission Task Force. The objective will be to advance the the concepts of 2020 Res-016 to a more global scale. This was discussed in some detail at the 2024 SSC Leaders Meeting and there appears to be strong support from several IUCN-SSC partners. A key part of this Resolution and associated actions would be to promote springs and pools as a critical part of IUCN's freshwater strategy, and to ensure that springs and pools are properly represented in countries' actions for inland water restoration (GBF Target 2) and protection (GBF Target 3).On-going
