On 24 July, three experts from the IUCN’s Conservation Planning Specialist Group will:
- Give an overview of plant conservation planning
- Describe the steps in national conservation planning
- Elaborate on how planners, conservationists, and stakeholders should work together
- Highlight the importance of linking conservation to human use
- Summarize the content of conservation strategies and action plans
- Explain how levels of conservation planning from local to international should interconnect
Register here.
The three presenters seem to be Crop Wild Relative specialists. I hope they highlight just how much of a disaster the ITPGRFA has turned out to be – not least for present and future access to CWRs.
They are certainly not going to be able to give a balanced view of general plant conservation strategy for about 360,000 (and counting) species of flowering plants.
