Saturday, 13 September
Participants at the Vth IUCN World Parks Congress (WPC) met in
workshop streams to address: linkages in the landscape and
seascape; building broader support for protected areas (PAs); PA
governance; developing the capacity to manage PAs; evaluating
management effectiveness; building a secure financial future; and
building comprehensive PA systems. Workshop streams met in
break-out and plenary sessions to address their respective issues,
synthesize outcomes, and approve WPC recommendations. Side
meetings, special events and discussion groups on the WPC
recommendations were held throughout the day. A special
information session on the Durban Accord and the message to the
Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) was held in the evening.
