Barcelona (ES): The eyes4earth initiative was present and active at the recent IUCN World Conservation Congress (WCC) in Barcelona. In some ways, you could call the WCC the Olympics of conservation – it is an event which attracts around 7500 attendees and is held every four years. It brings together government representatives, inter-governmental agencies, non-governmental organisations, academics & scientists, businesses, indigenous groups and anyone else with an interest in getting a feel for the cutting-edge issues and approaches in conservation.
