Time: 09:30 – 11:00 Spirituality and Conservation LOCATION? | Spirituality and Conservation | SUSTAINABILITY DIALOGUE Religious and spiritual traditions are fundamental drivers of human behaviour. All religious and spiritual traditions have something significant to say about our relationship with nature, but in many cases this wisdom seems to have eroded over time. The spirituality of indigenous and traditional peoples has been key in maintaining and supporting stewardship practices, but it is also affected by many factors – including religious intolerance. Can faiths and spiritual traditions of the world engage more deeply in safeguarding life on Earth? | IUCN – CSVPA Gonzalo Oviedo |
15:00 – 15:30 Press conference room. | IUCN and UNESCO publish new guidelines on sacred natural sites in protected areas | PRESS CONFERENCE Thousands of sacred natural sites are in jeopardy around the world despite the fact that many lie within formal “Protected Areas.” | SLP & CSVPA Lead T.McLeod |

10:00 - 10:30 Event #160 CCIB 450 | Losing Sacred Ground: The Growing Global Movement to Protect Sacred Natural Sites.
| CONSERVATION CINEMA Around the world, indigenous peoples struggle to protect sacred places. Religious freedom and environmental justice elude communities whose traditional homelands hold their history and cultural identity. Every year, more sacred sites — nature’s equivalent of the world’s great cathedrals — are destroyed. The cause? Mostly mining, resource exploitation and development. But rock climbers, well-meaning ecotourists and New Agers are part of the problem. Paradoxically, the designation of nature parks sometimes turns native people into conservation refugees. | Sacred Land Film Project of Earth Island Institute & CSVPA Lead T.McLeod |

For many indigenous and local communities these performances relate to relationships with the Earth. Can ritual, music, dance and song conserve biological diversity? Topic 4. Where worlds meet – Economics and the Sacred: While economics are often seen as the antithesis of sacred values, sacred natural sites need resources to manage them at the same time many sites receive huge numbers of pilgrims and visitors which support significant economic activity – can Sacred Natural Sites and economics be reconciled? | Organiser CSVPA Lead R.Wild |

At the World Conservation Congress, IUCN and UNESCO will release the latest in the Best Practice Guidelines Series on Protected Area management. “Sacred Natural Sites – Guidelines for Protected Area Managers” is a 100-page manual aimed at improving protection of sacred natural sites within and near Protected Areas. This Knowledge Café will develop a plan to distribute the guidelines to protected area managers who are concerned about protecting sacred natural sites and will create strategies to implement and field test the SNS guidelines as widely as possible. | Organiser CSVPA Lead T.McLeod |
