Dana +20" workshop to kick off Wednesday

Under the patronage of Her Royal Highness Princess Basma Bint Talal, organized by The Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature, “Dana +20: Mobile Indigenous Peoples, Conservation, Sustainable Development, and Climate Change" will be held between 7-10 September at Dana Biosphere Reserve.

As the 20th anniversary of the Dana Declaration, which was signed in Wadi Dana in 2002, approaches, the workshop will take stock of ecological, and technical developments of the past two decades and bring the implications for local communities to the attention of global forums. The Dana+20 workshop aspires to outline forward-moving ways in consultation, with local community representatives, to improve engagement on the interrelated priorities of conservation, climate adaptation / resilience, habitat loss and sustainable development.

The workshop conference seeks to work with local communities as rights holders and change agents to reconfirm, direct and review ways to improve participation and maintain sustainability in the interrelated priorities of environmental conservation, climate change adaptation, and natural habitat protection.
