On Sunday, October 14 I will facilitate a Global Workshop for Indigenous and Local Communities: Biodiversity,... to engage CoP 11 participants and colleagues around the world with new networking tools that highlight indigenous and local community tourism services that conserve traditional culture and local biodiversity. Many of the examples are drawn from the participants in the Indigenous Tourism and Biodiversity Website Award.

Linking Tourism and Conservation survey

We are pleased to announce a new UNEP/GRID-Arendal Linking Tourism and Conservation survey. This survey is aimed at collecting information on existing global Sustainable Tourism initiatives that support protected areas.

With this survey we hope to identify, learn from and replicate positive examples where tourism supports the creation, management, and development of protected areas. This is a global UNEP/GRID-Arendal project that supports the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD; www.cbd.int).

This initiative supports the overarching aim of protecting global biodiversity and enabling future generations to experience healthy ecosystems and the beauty of nature.

Your participation in completing this survey will contribute to these efforts and is greatly appreciated. Please forward this information to relevant contacts.

The Linking Tourism and Conservation initiative is a recognised project of the Global Partnership for Sustainable Tourism (GPST).

The survey was developed by UNEP/GRID-Arendal as part of a partnership with the European Commission project entitled FAST-LAIN - Further Action on Sustainable Tourism.

I am interested in the overlap between tourism and sustainable use, particularly in reference to southern Africa.
