Reconciling Development Challenges

This stream will focus on the intersections between protected areas and the development goals and challenges facing national governments. Presenters from WCS’s Global Conservation and Wildlife Health and Health Policy programs will offer guidance and examples of how protected areas can be designed, managed, assessed, and utilized to achieve both ambitious conservation goals and development plans.
