The EDGE of Existence program provides a flagship example about how to address some key challenges in biodiversity conservation. EDGE is global, and inter-generational, in recognising that conservation of phylogenetic diversity globally maintains options for future generations. The program also is necessarily local, in integrating global priorities with locally led conservation initiatives and capacity-building. EDGE spans the full scope of “biodiversity” in another way – moving beyond the usual charismatic species, it tells us why we should care about species that otherwise might be forgotten.
