About SSC    
 
Species Programme Staff     
 

Species Programme staff are responsible for coordinating and guiding the activities of SSC Specialist Groups and network-wide initiatives as well as individual programmes. Part of the IUCN Secretariat, the Programme is based at IUCN’s international headquarters in Gland, Switzerland, but its staff are based in two further locations - Cambridge, UK, and Washington DC, USA. The SSC Chair works from her office in South Africa.
