WCPA’s Urban Conservation Strategies Specialist
Group focuses on PCAs in metropolitan areas. It works, for example, to control light pollution as a form of urbanisation that affects the circadian rhythm of plants and animals in natural ecosystems. The Group also works on promoting a vision of trails as both recreational infrastructure and conservation tools that offer opportunities for trailside interpretation and education through a dedicated Working Group on Trails and Conservation in collaboration with the Tourism and Protected Areas Specialist Group. In 2024, the Working Group strengthened its alliance with the World Trails Network, a global NGO focused on recreational trails, and brought the conservation message to the World Trails Conference held in Ottawa, Canada. In addition, it helped found the Pan American Trails Network, which aims to connect existing trails to create a route from Alaska to the southern tip of South America. |
