| Education/Communication/Raising awareness | Mother Language Day was celebrated at a school meant for the indigenous Kaani students in the Western Ghats, India. Addressing the students and their parents, environmental educator Davidson Sargunam said that the Kaani dialect is rich in nature-based words that should be documented and preserved. International Mother Language Day has been observed every year since February 2000 to promote linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism . He quoted the UNO document that says about the Day, “languages are the most powerful instruments of preserving and developing our tangible and intangible heritage. All moves to promote the dissemination of mother tongues will serve not only to encourage linguistic diversity and multilingual education but also to develop fuller awareness of linguistic and cultural traditions throughout the world and to inspire solidarity based on understanding, tolerance and dialogue.” He said that the language is closely associated with the local biodiversity and should be preserved . |

Challenges/obstacles encountered in the implementation of this Resolution and measures taken
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.
Future actions / activities needed for the implementation of this Resolution
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.
