Past ConferencesInformation and Outputs from important Mountain Conferences around the world featuring our Mountains Network members
Delegates from an estimated 26 nations, attended this international Congress at the William A. Egan Civic & Convention Center and the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts, Sept. 30 – Oct. 6, 2005. The theme of the WWC was Wilderness, Wildlands and People: A Partnership for the Future. The WWC is the world’s longest-running, public environmental forum. Our Mountain PA Network ran a Concurrent Session: Safeguarding Wildlands In Mountain Protected Areas under the Science and Stewardship track of the conference.
Results and outputs from the conference:
Organised by Network members Miquel Rafa, Josep Mallarach, Jordi Sargatal and others, with the support of the Fundacio Territori i Paisatge in collaboration with the Mountain Theme team of IUCN-WCPA. Discusssions included the role of Natura 2000 Network for keeping the natural corridors for important species such as Brown Bear and Wolf. This Workshop and the corridor project was the result of work initiated in Durban and the 2004 Conference on Mountain Corridors organised by the "Y2Y - Yellowstone to Yukon Initiative", and was another step towards a future IUCN Conference and a book on Mountain Corridors in 2006. Read a report of the event from Dr. Lawrence Hamilton who attended and helped to plan this event: "Cantabrian/Pyrenees (and to the Alps?) Conservation Corridor"
Results and outputs from the conference Perth Declaration: Declaration on Global Change Affecting Mountain Biosphere ReservesCommunication of new results from long-term research on global change that can be implemented in Mountain Biosphere Reserves and other mountain locations in both industrialised and developing countries.
Many
of our Network members were in Bangkok at the World Conservation
Congress in 2004. It gave us a great opportunity to follow up
on ideas and work generated by our participation at the World
Parks Congress in 2003. Here
is an overview to our participation at the:
Conference:
Sustaining Wild Land Results and outputs from the conference: Declaration for the Wild The
centrepiece of the John Muir Trust's 21st birthday year. Local,
national and international speakers took part followed by discussions
both at the conference venue and in the wild. A series of pre-conference
stakeholder workshops fed into the conference. The outcome was
a "Declaration for the Wild' – a clarion call for action,
for sustaining the wild and wildness, and winning new supporters
for its cause.
5th World Parks Congress Durban, South Africa Hosted by IUCN Here is an overview to our participation at WCPA events at the 5th World Parks Congress Results
and outputs from the conference:
Prior to the World Parks Congress, our Mountains Network held a multi-day workshop in the Drakensberg region of South Africa. We studied local projects and villages there, like Mnweni shown right, for viable ways to protect mountain environments while allowing benefits from them to flow "beyond boundaries".
