The Forum is a public gathering hosted by the world’s conservation community, bringing together people from all over the world to discuss, share and learn. Addressing the world’s most pressing sustainable development challenges, the Forum offers a unique platform for debates, workshops, dialogues, roundtable discussions, training courses, music and exhibitions.

The Forum was held during the first five days (from 7 to 11 September) of the 2012 IUCN World Conservation Congress in Jeju and conservationists from all walks of life took part in all sorts of exciting events.
