Hear examples of work and evidence demonstrating contribution of zoos, aquaria, botanical gardens, and museums towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Kumning-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.

Session Description

Join us to explore how we can ensure that nature-based education not only connects people to nature and achieves local impact, but also connects meaningfully with global targets for conservation. With case studies demonstrating how nature-based education initiatives are contributing towards global targets from the UN Sustainable Development Goals to the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, this interactive discussion session will explore the role that nature-based education initiatives play in reaching global targets and crucially how we can maximize the impact and visibility of these contributions.
