On Saturday, participants were able to select from a variety of events, including workshops, e-poster presentations and pavilion events. Stream sessions on the eight themes of governance, climate change, health and wellbeing, human life, conservation goals, indigenous culture, sustainable development, and the new generation took place throughout the day, covering a broad range of topics, including: funding success in protected areas (PAs); the value of the IUCN’s Red Lists in PA planning and monitoring; managing climate change in arid and semi-arid lands, human health benefits of traditional medicine; nature-based solutions for disasters; climate change in the Southern Ocean and Antarctica; visitor experience and enjoyment; and community-based natural resource management (CBNRM). Other sessions took place addressing PAs and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), sustainable use of wild resources and combating wildlife crime, the role of traditional management systems in achieving national and international policy goals, and “pushing the boundaries” on young peoples' action on PAs.
Cross-cutting issues discussed in the stream sessions included: the impacts of PAs on local communities; the value of strengthening community rights to benefit from wildlife; the synergies between strong governance and community participation; and enlisting community participation in restoration initiatives.
In the evening, a session of the World Leaders’ Dialogues titled “Stand Up for Your Rights: Parks and Social Equity” convened with leaders from conservation, non-government organizations, academia and government to share their perspectives on social equity.
