From 3 to 11 September, 2021, the IUCN World Conservation Congress will be hosted by the French government in Marseille, France. The 8-day event will be the first hybrid in-person and virtual environmental event. Over 100 resolutions on nature and biodiversity conservation will be discussed, and more than 1300 interactive sessions would be held. Despite the ongoing pandemic, the EAAFP Partners will also take part in driving nature-based recovery, climate change and biodiversity for decades to come for wetland and migratory waterbird conservation.
The EAAFP Secretariat is summarizing side events of EAAFP Partners during the Congress.
