The International Big Cat Alliance (IBCA) is convening a global summit in New Delhi to coordinate the protection of seven major big cat species. The initiative emphasizes that preserving these predators is essential for maintaining ecological balance and biodiversity across member nations. Beyond wildlife protection, the alliance highlights the role of habitat preservation in climate action. Protecting these ecosystems supports carbon sequestration, helping to mitigate global warming while providing sustainable livelihoods for indigenous communities.
