A Call to Action: Endeavor to make native trout and char flourish around the globe
Global conservation action requires 3 key actions:
Objective 1: Establish a global network of scientists and conservationists to share knowledge on the protection and restoration of native trout and their habitats.
Objective 2: Conduct and update IUCN status assessments for all trout species across the globe.
Objective 3: Establish place-based conservation protections for native trout: propose adding “Outstanding Coldwater Rivers” to the World Heritage List
