The 2012 conference of the IUCN UK National Committee is taking place on Thursday 26th April, considering the theme of protected areas in the United Kingdom.

“A platform for 21st Century protected area managers and policy makers to share best practice and consider existing and new policy and systems, opportunities and challenges. Development, climate change, economic constraints, and the needs of nature and people are all issues affecting the work of the protected areas community. This is a superb opportunity for protected area practitioners and policy makers from across the UK to come together, share and debate new and innovative ideas.”

Registration is £50 and further details are available from the IUCN UK website.
