WWF has just given the classification. It doesn't come under any specific program, AFAIK.

Adding to that.

The terms “flagship” and “keystone” have generally consistent definitions across the conservation community, however “priority species” is a WWF term, and is solely for the purposes of planning and simple communication.
For WWF, a “priority species” may be either a flagship or a keystone species and is chosen to represent an ecoregion or region.
A “priority species” is reflective of a key threat across that ecoregion - such that conservation of the species will contribute significantly to a broader threat mitigation outcome. It is often crucial to the economic and/or spiritual wellbeing of peoples within that ecoregion.

Priority Species is a program of WWF and yeah others are generic ecology terms

But can u confirm whether Living Himalayas Initiative Network is part of WWF

You are right as well as wrong.
It is not a program.

“priority species” is a WWF term, and is solely for the purposes of planning and simple communication.
