Session with interpretation
Why attend
This dynamic and highly interactive session will showcase stories about the vision, strategies, successes, cutting edge solutions, best practices, innovations and wicked problems faced by some of the largest landscape and seascape conservation efforts in the world including Yellowstone to Yukon (Y2Y), Kavango Zambezi (KAZA), Coral Triangle, and others.
Session Description
How big is big enough to adequately address the biodiversity and climate crises? What’s working? What’s not? What’s needed? The WCPA’s Large-Scale Conservation Areas Task Force, a new, global community of practice, is tackling these questions and more. Task Force members will share stories about their work during this highly interactive session. Stories will highlight some of the largest conservation initiatives on Earth, their successes, failures, challenges, best practices, innovations and difficult problems they face. Story tellers will also preview a set of recommendations to the funding community and other global actors to help advance conservation at scale in a way that embraces Indigenous leadership and rights and helps us achieve global goals by 2030. Task Force members, who embody geographic, cultural, gender, and generational diversity will tell their stories, share their findings, engage participants and invite others to join them in their work.Organised by
