Association Anoulak featured at the IUCN World Conservation Congress 2021

From 3 to 11 September 2021 was held the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Marseille, France—a global event conveyed every four years. The congress brings together Governments, Scientists, policy experts, business leaders and professionals acting for the conservation of the biodiversity around the world.

• Global decisions on pressing conservation and sustainable development issues are voted by IUCN members, represented by both governments and civil society organizations.
• Numerous conferences by world leaders and conservation practitioners present and discuss the state of the world’s biodiversity and the urgent interventions required to reverse the trend.
• Exhibitions open to both Congress participants and the general public, allow organizations, academia, institutions, businesses, to showcase their research, innovations and other works to the broadest Congress audience.

Association Anoulak, was represented at our partner’s booth, l’Association Francaise des Parcs Zoologiques (AFdPZ – The French Association of Zoological Parks), with the presentation to the audience of our published educative material and screening some of our videos

Since the beginning of our conservation interventions and biodiversity research in Laos, Association Anoulak has published several scientific papers and has contributed to numerous IUCN Red List of Threatened Species assessments.

In addition to Association Anoulak being featured at the Exhibition section of the World Congress, we took part in the initiative led by l’Association Francaise des Parcs Zoologiques to produce a video (also presented during the congress), to express the unification of AFdPZ’s members and conservation and research partners around the World Coalition #TousunispourlaBiodiversité of the European Commission: a global communication campaign to raise awareness about the need to protect biodiversity.
