Save Soil (Isha Outreach, IUCN Member), Aroura the Soil Security Think Tank, and IUCN WCEL are excited to co-host a 3-part panel discussion on Soil Security. As part of the larger Save Soil Soil Conversations series, this collaboration will explore soil as the single leverage point for addressing major global challenges of our time, highlighting rich, diverse stories of challenges and successes from around the world. Expert panelists will share their insights and on-ground experiences on how Soil Security can support accelerated implementation of restoration targets, biodiversity goals, and climate action.

Panel 1 - Soil Security: The Nexus Solution to Global Existential Challenges 

Panel 1 of this series will explore the Soil Security Framework and the soil nexus approach within it, answering the question of why soil is at the heart of nature conservation for One Health. Expert panelists will present on measuring the Capacity and Condition dimensions of the Soil Security Framework, through their work in Africa, Indonesia, and Australia, three regions of the world with rich biodiversity facing high rates of soil and land degradation and ecosystems vulnerable to climate shocks. We will see how their work has brought about restoration and resilience at the landscape, social, and the ecosystemic level and the gaps that still need to be addressed and what we all can do to address them.
