                              The IUCN Community Meeting of Europe, North, 
and Central Asia took place in Yerevan





                              This was the first international environmental 
meeting of its kind in Armenia and the region, which brought together over 
50 professionals and representatives of environmental entities from around 
the world from the 16th to the 18th of October.




                              For FPWC, it was very important to host this 
meeting, especially during these challenging times for the South Caucasus 
and even wider EaP region. Due to this meeting, many local environmental 
organizations and state representatives created new links for further 
cooperation. The meeting was the first in-person one for the IUCN ICENCA 
community and put the region on a global map as an important area for 
environmental conservation.




                              This meeting highlighted different commissions 
of IUCN: Species Survival Commission, Red Lists and Green Lists, Commission 
on Ecosystem Management, Commission on World Commission on Protected Areas, 
and Commission on Education and Communication, stressing the importance of 
engaging new members and empowering young professionals to be a part of IUCN 
community.




                              As a result of the meeting, the Ministry of 
Environment expressed its willingness to become an IUCN member, which will 
give the country many opportunities for new international partnerships and 
visibility when it matters.




                              Within this meeting, Yerevan Municipality 
announced that the city authorities applied to become an IUCN member. Given 
the recent decision of the Municipality to create a new protected area in 
Hrazdan Gorge, IUCN membership will open new prospects for cooperation.




                              IUCN is the largest environmental community in 
the world, and being a part of it gives access to world-renowned researchers 
and experts in the world.
