This year we have a special event: we are hosting a IUCN's workshop for conservation areas around the world, sharing lessons learned, challenges and experiences in our actions to protect different biomes across the world. We will receive 30 participants from Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia and North and South America.
This is an important step for us positioning the Mata Altantica as a critical environment to protect, as a primary source of fresh water and biodiversity for Brazil, get some feedback and work together to create strategies to better protect our environment.
The participants will stay with us for a week presenting their cases - key challenges and opportunities, threats and conservation strategies. We are preparing our materials to share the particularities of being a conservation site in the urban sprawl of Rio de Janeiro, the social and environmental implications. Photos to come soon!
