Highlights from the Panorama: Island Solutions Webinar
On August 8, the Global Island Partnership (GLISPA) and The Panorama Initiative of IUCN and the GIZ hosted a webinar on island solutions. The Panorama Initiative recognizes inspiring success stories of conservation and sustainability. The Initiative is building a searchable database of case studies (solutionsexplorer.org), which will be launched at the World Conservation Congress in September. Each of the four presenters in this webinar focused on the key elements – “building blocks” that make a solution successful.
