This group is part of the World Commission on Protected Areas of IUCN, the International Union for Conservation of Nature. InterEnvironment Institute has provided its chair and secretariat since it started in 2005. 


The Specialist Group has its own website:

URBAN PROTECTED AREAS


Are critically important because: 


>> They provide opportunities for large numbers of urban people to experience nature, including many who may not be able to visit more remote protected areas.

>> Conservation everywhere depends on support from urban voters, donors, and communicators. Yet people living in cities have less and less contact with nature.

Urban protected areas

Our Urban Mantra

 


NATURAL NEIGHBORS works within well-defined regions to help conservation agencies, museums, and similar organizations inform their visitors about climate change and biodiversity loss and encourage them to take action. 

In select regions we designate TEN POINTS OF INSPIRATION, places representing people who have made a difference, showing us how we can build a more just and sustainable future. Details: https://naturalneighbors.org
