The first International Big Cat Alliance (IBCA) summit is set to occur in New Delhi on June 1-2, 2024, with a focus on establishing the 'Delhi Declaration,' a consensus document aimed at enhancing global big cat conservation efforts. The IBCA, launched in 2024 by India, seeks collaboration among nations that host the seven big cat species: tigers, lions, leopards, jaguars, pumas, cheetahs, and snow leopards. As the only country with five of these species, India is at the forefront of this initiative, which has garnered the support of 25 signatory countries and five observer countries, with Saudi Arabia expected to join soon. The summit will address critical areas such as strengthening global cooperation, showcasing best practices in big cat management, and promoting synergy in habitat conservation. The anticipated 'Delhi Declaration' will outline future action plans and a transboundary approach to protect these majestic animals.
