DESCRIPTION:Meeting global species conservation targets requires tools and
  metrics that allow actors from across society to identify their potential
  contributions to species conservation\, set science-based targets\, and m
 easure progress towards those targets. To meet this need\, I worked with I
 UCN and a large team of international scientists to develop the Species Th
 reat Abatement and Restoration (STAR) metric. STAR quantifies the contribu
 tions that abating threats and restoring habitat in specific places offer 
 towards reducing species extinction risk. STAR is spatially explicit\, sca
 lable and comparable across sites\, and is now available to businesses and
  policy makers for use in decision making. In this presentation\, I will i
 ntroduce the STAR conceptual framework\, and provide diverse examples of h
 ow STAR has been applied in scientific and practical contexts. I will shar
 e current development of the metric as we work towards achieving uptake an
 d impact\, to ultimately support delivery of global conservation targets.
