IUCN will hold its World Conservation Congress in the Jeju, Republic of Korea, in less than two months from 6 to 15 September.

IUCN encourages open and transparent dialogue on all environmental issues. The comments section on this item, open for one week, is now closed. We welcome all to participate in the Congress to discuss conservation issues further: in Jeju from 6-15 September, on-line or through social media.
