The first-ever International Big Cat Alliance (IBCA) Summit will be held in New Delhi, India, on June 1-2, 2023, with representatives from nearly 95 countries expected to attend. This summit marks a significant step in global conservation efforts for the seven big cat species: Lion, Tiger, Leopard, Cheetah, Puma, Snow Leopard, and Jaguar. Launched in 2023, the IBCA aims to unite countries that host these species to collectively tackle conservation challenges. Union Minister of Environment, Forests and Climate Change Bhupender Yadav emphasized the importance of cooperation and knowledge sharing among nations. The summit will feature heads of state, conservationists, and policymakers and will conclude with the adoption of the 'Delhi Declaration,' which will outline shared priorities and promote cooperative conservation strategies. The IBCA is set to become a full-fledged treaty-based organization by February 2025, further solidifying its role in international conservation efforts.
