The implementation of this Resolution seems to be going well and 2019 was a productive and succesful year with the recruitment of the IP Programme Officer and the securing of funding from GEF for the Inclusive Conservation Initiative. Further capacity is needed for the continued implementation of the IPO strategy and organization of the IP summit and other related activities at the Congress in June.

Efforts continue to strenghten the role of indigenous cultures in conservation efforts. In 2020, the main focus will be on engaging IPOs in WCC 2020, in the form of the IP summit, Congress sessions and plenaries, and other related activities and initiatives. Preparations for the implementation of the Inclusive Conservation Initiative, funded by the GEF, will continue throughout 2020.
