Ron Mader – presented via Google Hangouts
The World Parks Congress takes place once every ten years and is the world’s most influential gathering of people involved in protected area management.
Sydney, Australia hosts the event in November 2014.
Ron Mader previews the event with recommendations for participants – physical and remote – on making the most of this congress in a live stream Google hangout on October 4 (Australia time) from Oaxaca, Mexico (October 3 Mexico time).
Among the focal points of the World Parks Congress:
- Achieving conservation results
- Engaging a new generation
- Broadening participation
- Improving health and well being
- Reconciling development challenges
- Respecting diverse knowledge systems
- Reacting to climate change
- Securing food and water
Of particular interest is the creation of a series of goals by which we can measure the success of the congress.
