Around 40 experts, including 20 field directors, will gather at Pench Tiger Reserve (PTR), Madhya Pradesh, on November 2 and 3, to evolve a strategy to enhance the role of PAs in climate change, mobilise resources set aside for conserving biodiversity and ecosystems through a worldwide network of national parks, and increase disaster resilience of local communities dependent on the ecosystem services of the parks.
The international workshop has been organised by Satpuda Foundation, a leading NGO in Central India, in collaboration with Global Tiger Forum (GTF), inter-governmental body International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR).
