TOWARDS RIGHTS-BASED CONSERVATION IN THE CONGO BASIN, 5th September 2016, Hawaiʻi Convention Center, UNDP, Room 314, 1801 Kalākaua Ave, Honolulu, HI, USA, 96815.
A presentation by the Rainforest Foundation UK and Réseau Ressources Naturelles (RRN)
When: Monday 5th September 2016, 17:00 - 19:00
Where: Hawaiʻi Convention Center, UNDP, Room 314, 1801 Kalākaua Ave, Honolulu, HI, USA, 96815
To be sustainable, nature conservation must also support the rights, livelihoods and cultures of local communities. International conservation organisations recognise this, but have these good intentions been reflected in efforts to protect Africa’s rainforests?
A group of experts will discuss the evidence that conservation in the Congo Basin region of Africa has failed to recognise basic human rights, undermined poor people’s livelihoods, and caused widespread conflict with local communities. The effectiveness of current protected areas and conservation policy will be considered, and the speakers will discuss whether a new conservation paradigm is needed to protect both forests and peoples’ rights.

Upcoming Events
This calendar is based on information provided by COMIFAC and the Franco-German support office is considered a complementary event schedule to the official calendar posted on COMIFAC's website. (http://www.comifac.org/events). It offers a broad overview of international and regional events that are directly linked to CBFP's objectives: major conferences and meetings, workshops and training sessions and other activities scheduled by CBFP Facilitation and its member organisations.
Our choice is by no means exhaustive and depends largely on our partners' notice. Every partner organisation is thus welcome to contribute to a rich variety of posted events and to share its schedule with CBFP's Facilitation and the other members! We may also, upon request, forward your input to the COMIFAC webmaster.
