The World Wilderness Congress (WWC): WILD10-Make the World a Wilder Place

From: 04.10.2013 to: 10.10.2013

How can we protect, sustain and restore wild nature while also providing enhanced social and economic opportunities for human society? A full concept paper and specific proposals are available for WILD10 projects under three main streams: PLANET - Nature Needs Half, PROSPERITY - Living With and From Nature and PEOPLE - Mobilizing Constituencies and Building a Social Movement. Practical outcomes will advance biodiversity, ecosystem services, climate change mitigation, and other benefits to humankind derived from the protection and connectivity of intact and restored wild nature. The World Wilderness Congress to be held from 4 to 10 October 2012 in Salamanca (Spain) is not a typical “conference”: it integrates art, science, management, government, academia, native leaders, youth, corporate leaders and advocates into a multi-year conservation programme, with unique results at each convening. It is the best-known and most effective global platform for debating and acting on wilderness issues.
