The '''Alliance for Zero Extinction''' (AZE) is a global alliance of membership organisations created in 2003 to prevent the extinction of species and the destruction of natural habitats.

By trying to eliminate human threats such as commercial exploitation, disease and the introduction of invasive species, the AZE attempts rebuild populations of endangered and critically endangered species. This should in turn maintain native ecosystems and biodiversity.
The AZE is a membership-based organisation whose main aim is to cooperate with its members and provide expertise with regards to biodiversity goals for the [[Convention on Biological Diversity]] (CBD) 2050 and assist it's membership parties in integrating the zero-extinction target into National action plans.<ref>Ainsworth, David.

Formed in 2000 and launched globally in 2005, the Alliance for Zero Extinction (AZE) comprises 100 non-governmental biodiversity conservation organizations working to prevent species extinctions by identifying and safeguarding sites where species evaluated to be Endangered or Critically Endangered under International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) criteria only exist at one location on Earth.[1] AZE members work to rebuild populations of endangered and critically endangered species through efforts to eliminate human threats such as commercial exploitation, disease and the introduction of invasive species. AZE provides expertise on biodiversity goals for the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and assists party nations in integrating protection of AZE sites and species into National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAP).[2] Country-based initiatives, or national Alliances for Zero Extinction, have begun to take shape recently representing partnerships of government agencies and non-government organizations to accelerate the protection of AZE sites in compliance with national commitments under the Convention on Biological Diversity.[1]
