North Africa unites to influence its future

IUCN has brought together the main voices concerned with nature conservation in North Africa at the IUCN North Africa Members Forum in Rabat, Morocco. IUCN members and partners reviewed achievements to date and devised a new programme of work.


The approach is more pragmatic, offers clear ecosystem-based solutions to current environmental challenges and can become a reality even with limited financial resources.
