This week I’m at the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Barcelona with a delegation from AWF. The WCC is like a Star Trek convention for conservation geeks.

8,000 people from all around the world – policy-makers, NGOs, governments, academics – come together for 10 days of workshops and discussions that guide global conservation issues. Issues like biodiversity, illegal wildlife trade, livelihoods, and global climate change.

AWF has been a member of IUCN since 1966. We have a booth at this year’s Congress – #30 for those of you in the area. Come visit!
