NATURE/CULTURE CONNECTIONS AT THE IUCN WORLD CONSERVATION CONGRESS, HAWAII –September 2016

FINAL CALL FOR PROPOSALS

Deadline for submissions: 15^th October 2015

This is a request for your proposals to be made as part of a proposed Culture/ Nature Journey within the “Forum” at the next IUCN World Conservation Congress - WCC 2016.  WCC takes place between 1-10 September 2016, and the Forum will be between 2-5 September.

IUCN and ICOMOS, with a growing group of our members and partners, envision a high profile theme at the IUCN World Conservation Congress with multiple components that will address the interconnected character of natural and cultural heritage.  We think this is a vital issue, of growing importance to our work on conservation, globally and locally.  The theme, potentially to be called the “Culture/Nature Journey” will include diverse elements, but its success relies on members and partners of IUCN and ICOMOS making your proposals before 15^th October, so they can be considered within the overall programming for the whole of WCC.  If you have a potential session to contribute, please visit http://www.iucnworldconservationcongress.org/.
