Congress Registration now live!
Registration for the IUCN World Conservation Congress, 6-15 September 2012, in Jeju, Republic of Korea, is now open! Members are invited to register online and can take advantage of an Early Bird fee by registering before 5 July.
The online registration system guides you through each step so you can successfully take part in the appropriate events. It also describes the different categories of participation and their entitlements.
The event starts with the Forum, a conservation debate hub open to all, featuring knowledge cafés, workshops, training courses, poster sessions and five high-profile World Leaders' Dialogues. The Forum then leads into the Members' Assembly, IUCN's highest decision-making body and a unique global environmental parliament of governments and NGOs.
IUCN has limited funding to sponsor the participation of a number of Members from developing countries. Membership Focal Points will be in contact with eligible Members in the coming month.

IUCN's impact on global conservation IUCN is pleased to present a report outlining the impact Congress resolutions have had, and continue to have, over the years. Through its resolutions, IUCN has been a steadfast supporter of indigenous peoples, gender equality and the recognition of conservation as part of human rights. It has also focused attention on conserving endangered species and protected areas, helping to design effective approaches that are now global standards. The resolutions process has helped IUCN to be a leader in promoting sustainable relationships between people and nature. > Click here to download the report
