Why attend
The session serves to promote a community-of-practice for conservation in conflict zones, including places of armed conflict, socio-cultural conflict, and human-nature conflict. The session invites CSOs, INGOs, government representatives, indigenous speakers, and academic scholars to address current issues for conservation in conflict zones.

UPDATE 5 September 2021--speakers will participate in this session via Zoom, attendees can view the session via the IUCN virtual platform... UPDATE 1 September 2021--due to COVID-19 travel issues, this session will change to VIRTUAL ON-LINE FORMAT............................................ The session promotes a community-of-practice to complement IUCN guidelines to better address conservation in conflict zones. Conflict encompasses armed conflict, socio-cultural conflict between different groups of people, and human-nature conflict between people and the natural world. Continuing discussions from WCC 2016 in Honolulu, the session will draw upon the experiences of CSOs, INGOs, government representatives, indigenous speakers, and academic scholars associated with conflict zones to share experiences and lessons which can be synthesized into recommendations for practice that complement existing IUCN guidelines for conservation in conflict zones.
