UPM Program
20 years of careful composition, The Urgent Priority Management Program is the executive program of all our operations. This is a ‘smart program’ that updates itself accordingly to bring the highest efficiency, regardless of circumstances, in prevention of the mass extinction, restoration of biodiversity and conservation of a healthy global ecosystem.
The UPM Program is inspired by Natural Selection and like so, it applies, preserves, and fosters favourable actions and adaptations and rejects the injurious ones.
Modern/future zoos and aquariums hold a chiefly important potential in conservation namely due to their position in human-populated areas such as cities and towns. This allows the zoological industry to educate and mould the mindset of the general public and upcoming generations towards the conservation of the health of our planet and so the future.
Another potential of modern/future zoos and aquariums is the creation of a biobank network where zoos and aquariums cooperate to establish genetically clean biodiversity of threatened species, including widely unknown and conservation-neglected species, for the future restoration of healthy ecosystems.
Lastly, modern/future zoos and aquariums have the potential to raise finance to fund global conservation programs.
The UPM Program introduces a system and order in all related aspects of prevention of the mass extinction and global conservation by fully using the potential of zoos and aquariums and maintaining the highest efficiency.
Unity in the zoological industry is of the utmost importance in this program as each individual organisation plays a significant part in the completion of this jigsaw puzzle of conservation success.
These three points below are closely aligned, connected, and imbricated.
Urgency
We are losing hundreds of threatened species every day that receive little or no conservation attention and often being chiefly important in healthy biodiversity, whilst many zoos and aquariums concentrate on the analogous and in many cases, conservation-ineffective compositions of species.
By establishing urgency levels, we concentrate on the species in the biggest peril of extinction with a chance of saving.
Priority
We find many species in zoos and aquariums collections to be listed as ‘least concern’ on the IUCN Red List. These species have little or no conservation value and should be replaced with the threatened species that are losing in the struggle for existence due to human interference.
Management
Due to the introduced unity, the urgent priorities must be precisely managed to cover a wider range and increase the highest levels of efficiency.
Zoos and aquariums must be variable in their species compositions to achieve the highest efficiency in the urgent priority and closely cooperate together to avoid similarity in their collections and thus the imbalance in our efficiency in global conservation.
Staff must be managed by fostering and focusing on their most favourable adaptations. In-depth education and complete sustainability must be seriously implemented and focused on to prevent environmental issues and restore the environment for the reintroduction of threatened species with future protection plans in place
