The Alliance for Zero Extinction (AZE) offers a focused approach to preventing extinctions by identifying and safeguarding sites that hold the last remaining populations of highly threatened species. This talk introduces the AZE model, explaining how it combines extinction risk and irreplaceability to identify priorities for conservation action. It then turns to the many island species represented within AZE, examining how restricted distributions and pressures on their remaining habitats create particular conservation challenges. Drawing on island examples, the talk considers how habitat protection, species management and conservation breeding can contribute to recovery, and how costs, feasibility and local circumstances influence conservation choices. It explores the value of AZE as a framework for directing limited resources towards places where effective action could prevent the loss of an entire species.
