IUCN Regional Conservation Forum

The BIOPAMA Caribbean Team participated in the recently concluded IUCN Regional Conservation Forum (27-30 May) in La Antigua, Guatemala. The Forum created the platform for IUCN members and commission members to engage in discussions, presentations, and exhibits on IUCN’s work across the region and provide feedback on the IUCN Draft Programme for 2021- 2024. There was representation from Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. Julian Walcott delivered an e-poster presentation on the Caribbean Protected Areas Gateway and Hyacinth Armstrong-Vaughn gave an overview of the BIOPAMA Programme and work being done in the Caribbean. Additionally, the Team developed a short video to highlight the work conducted on protected areas management effectiveness, and a small exhibition was mounted to disseminate information to forum participants on the programme’s work.
