Zoom ONLY | At the 2025 IUCN World Conservation Congress, a proposal to establish a moratorium on gene drive research failed to pass—nearly a decade after the first calls for such a moratorium emerged. Does this outcome signal a shift in global debates over gene drive technologies? This talk will trace how discussions within the IUCN and other international policy arenas have evolved over the past ten years, offering reflections on what this moment reveals about the future of gene drive governance and public discourse. |

This research examines the interplay between local ecological knowledge, environmental pressures, human migration, and the broader global economic and political systems that shape these processes. |
