The IUCN World Conservation Congress, held last September in Hawaii, was truly a milestone for BJF. The BJF Team delivered two presentations: the BJF E-Poster and a speech at the UNCCD event “Tackling land degradation on-the-ground”.
During the congress, we held meetings with top conservation organizations such as the IUCN, Conservation International, World Resources Institute, the Rainforest Alliance and the Ministry of Environment of Brazil, a major supporter of ecological corridors. In total we met over 100 people in the world of conservation to initiate partnerships to help realize the Araguaia Biodiversity Corridor.
