Empowering a Global Community for Land Conservation
The International Land Conservation Network connects civic and private organizations and people, across boundaries and around the world, to accelerate the protection and strengthen the management of land and natural resources.
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought into even greater focus the importance of land conservation across multiple scales for the well-being of human and natural communities. We look forward to convening our global community of practice to share experience, best practices, and our renewed commitment to accelerating effective private and civil society contributions to international conservation targets.
In light of ongoing uncertainty regarding international travel, the 2021 Global Congress will be a hybrid event. We will meet both online and in-person at Món Sant Benet near Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. More information regarding session proposals, agenda, and registration information will be forthcoming in coming months.
Information regarding the 2021 Global Congress will be updated regularly on the following page: 2021 Global Congress
