Enhancing Diversity and Quality of Governance

A diverse protected area system encompasses a range of management types such as shared governance, governance by indigenous people and local communities, by private entities, and by national and regional governments. Speakers from WCS and other organizations will focus on consolidating and elevating the commitments made at the previous IUCN World Parks Congress in Durban in 2003 and by the Convention on Biological Diversity.
