Somalia Becomes Founding Member of International Big Cat Alliance, Underscores Commitment to Wildlife and Environmental Protection

New Delhi, SONNA – Somalia has taken a significant step in advancing global wildlife conservation by participating as a founding member of the newly established International Big Cat Alliance (IBCA). The inaugural meeting, held in New Delhi and led by the Government of India, brought together nations committed to the protection of iconic big cat species and other endangered wildlife. Representing Somalia at the conference were Deputy Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Mr. Hussein Ali Haji, and Director of the Department of Environmental Protection, Mr. Abdirashid Artan.

The International Big Cat Alliance is a pioneering global initiative aimed at conserving species such as tigers, cheetahs, and lions—many of which face growing threats from habitat loss, poaching, and climate change. Somalia’s status as a founding country signals its growing leadership in international environmental diplomacy and wildlife conservation.

Deputy Minister Hussein Ali Haji addressed the assembly, emphasizing the importance of protecting Somalia’s unique wildlife and fragile ecosystems, particularly in the face of worsening climate impacts across the Horn of Africa.

In a key sideline meeting, Somali delegation member Hon. Hussein Ali Haji held talks with India’s Minister of Environment, Forests and Climate Change. The two leaders agreed to enhance bilateral cooperation through joint environmental projects, capacity building, and technical training for Somali professionals.

The Federal Government of Somalia reaffirmed its determination to play a leading role in regional and global environmental efforts, underlining its commitment to combating climate change, preserving biodiversity, and promoting sustainable development.

Somalia’s engagement in the IBCA marks a new chapter in its environmental policy, setting the stage for increased collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and global solidarity in the fight to protect the planet’s most endangered species.
