A high-level dialogue between indigenous people’s representatives and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) takes place today at the Sharing Power conference in New Zealand.
The conference, in Whakatane, aims to explore concrete ways in which the IUCN can progress the various resolutions and recommendations in favour of indigenous peoples adopted at the World Conservation Congresses of 2004 and 2008, but which have yet to be implemented on the ground.
