September 6-15, 2012: IUCN World Conservation Congress. Jeju, Korea. The IUCN World Conservation Congress is the world’s largest and most important conservation event. Held every four years, the Congress aims to improve how we manage our natural environment for human, social, and economic development. The 2012 World Conservation Congress will be held from 6 to 15 September 2012 in Jeju, Republic of Korea. Leaders from government, the public sector, non-governmental organizations, business, UN agencies, and social organizations will discuss, debate, and decide solutions for the world’s most pressing environment and development issues. The Congress starts with a Forum where IUCN members and partners discuss cutting edge ideas, thinking, and practice. The Forum leads into the IUCN Members’ Assembly, a unique global environmental parliament of governments and NGOs. Effective conservation action cannot be achieved by conservationists alone. The 2012 IUCN World Conservation Congress is the place to put aside differences and work together to provide the means and mechanisms for good environmental governance, engaging all parts of society to share both responsibilities and the benefits of conservation.
