The "World Parks Congress" only happens every ten years or so. The last one was in Sydney, Australia in 2014. Planning has begun in earnest for the next one taking place in Panama in September 2027. WCPA's CCSG is going to be very involved, and one of the three main themes is global change. 🌎

Save the date notice for the IUCN World Protected and Conserved Areas Congress in Panama City in September (4-10) 2027. The bakground is an aerial shot of a riverine tropical forest.

Wondering if any @iucnwcpa.bsky.social or CCSG members are planning to attend the Species on the Move conference in Taiwan in April? If so, we'd love to hear about it afterwards - maybe even organize a webinar for those who are interested? Let us know. @sotm2026.bsky.social 🌐🌍🧪

A new review finds marine geoengineering risks vary widely. Some mCDR methods — like electrochemical alkalinity enhancement — may pose lower risks than nutrient fertilization. But researchers say better models, field tests and stronger oversight are needed before large-scale deployment.

From Jonathan Jarvis, former Director of the US National Park Service, about the importance of IUCN and why it's a very bad thing that the US is withdrawing after decades of valuable and contructive involvement. @iucnwcpa.bsky.social @adamiucnwcpa.bsky.social 🌎🌐
