IUCN Holds World Park Congress

The International Union for Conservation of Nature held its once in a decade World Parks Congress beginning November 12th in Sydney, Australia. This year’s congregation of non-profits, private interests and agencies, all working on protected areas across the globe, was unique for two important reasons. The event had a  much larger ocean focus than ever before, featuring over 250 ocean-related sessions joined together under a marine theme ; and the Congress used technologies for ocean outreach and collaboration that are thoroughly new to the IUCN’s events.
