As part of the World Conservation Congress, the IUCN, the French Facility for Global Environment (FFEM), and the Research Institute for Development (IRD) are organizing a mangroves thematic session: “Global Pressures on Mangroves and Their Communities: Solutions from Conservation and Restoration.” Introduced by a film by Alex Rosenfeld, this session will unfold in three stages:

  • Communities, local participation, and sustainable use: towards fair and sustainable use of coastal marine resources (led by IRD)
  • Examples of good practices in conservation and restoration (led by FFEM)
  • Governance challenges and opportunities: Moving from words to action (led by IUCN)

The conclusion will be introduced by Mr. Ivete Maibaze, Minister of Environment of Mozambique (to be confirmed).
