Education/Communication/Raising awarenessWCPA's #NatureForAll Thematic Group addresses key indirect driver of biodiversity loss – societal disconnection from nature. In striving to inspire people across the world to reconnect with (love), benefit from, and act for nature, it creates enabling conditions for the delivery of all areas of the IUCN Programme and the achievement of the SDGs. In 2023, the collective efforts of 600 #NatureForAll partners inspired individuals and organisations across the world to love and care for nature. In February 2023, #NatureForAll hosted its first ever Love Fest, a two-week-long celebration of love and action for nature. This online global event shared inspiring stories, featured 50 live interviews with WCPA leaders and other conservationists, and showcased 18 partner events. The intention is for the #NatureForAll Love Fest to become an annual event through which we can share our conservation stories with a broad and diverse audience. As in previous years, youth engagement was an important area of focus in 2023. During the Fifth International Marine Protected Areas Congress (IMPAC5), #NatureForAll partners hosted a youth pavilion (#NatureForAll Youth Archipelago), offering youth attendees a place to gather, have their voices heard and highlight youth efforts in ocean conservation. Lessons from this and previous #NatureForAll youth pavilions were consolidated a draft guide to creating youth dialogue spaces at major events that will be published in 2024.#NatureForAll continued to highlight the vital importance of protected and conserved areas as places to experience, learn about, and conserve nature through webinars, blogs, short videos, and social media content. It expanded the content on its website and brought particular focus to the important work done by staff of protected area agencies. In addition, the Sounds of Your Park initiative, which offers an immersive experience of sounds from protected areas, continued to grow; it now hosts 168 recordings from 21 countriesOn-going
