The Asian Species Action Partnership (ASAP)

The Asian Species Action Partnership (ASAP) is focused solely on the conservation of Critically Endangered land and freshwater vertebrate species (ASAP Species) found in Southeast Asia. The ASAP Secretariat is hosted by Mandai Nature in Singapore and is convened under the IUCN SSC. The ASAP Partnership consists of over 280 organisations (ASAP Partners), the majority of which are local NGOs in Southeast Asia.

ASAP supports its Partners to deliver vital conservation work in a region that, without urgent intervention, will lose much of its unique and rich biodiversity. The ASAP Secretariat has a 5-year strategy with four areas of intervention:

• Amplifying funding and knowledge

• Strengthening local organisations to be resilient and successful

• Investing in people to grow skills, motivation and impact

• Fostering a collaborative and dynamic network
