After a short introduction on the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework by the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity, three initiatives focused on the human dimension of forest biodiversity conservation will be presented, exploring the potential of involving women, youth and local communities. Kaouthar Aouane (manager of Talasemtane National Parc in Morocco) and Ahjam Abdellah (coordinator of the Moroccan RARBA-TIZNIT project) will present two successful case studies of community and women’s engagement in the management of the Talassemtane National Park and argan forests in Morocco. Finally, Marion Douchin (RESCOM project), will present the Mediterranean Biodiversity Consortium and its restoration efforts that also support local communities.

These webinars offer the opportunity to explore key questions for research, policy and practice in the weeks leading up to the event. Through these webinars, relevant discussion points will be identified for subsequent discussion during the 8MFW. This is your chance to join the discussion on forest adaptation, biodiversity, fires and green cities, in the context of the week’s global theme on sustainable and resilient Mediterranean forests.

The results of the webinars will be used, together with the results of the discussion during the plenary sessions and the content of the posters presented at the 8MFW. All webinars in this cycle will be recorded; If you can’t attend, you can always watch the recording to better prepare for the event!
