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.[1] The AZE is also responsible for managing a forum on the best practices for its members to implement safeguarding measures and communications, education and public awareness of them.[2]
