The network of Mediterranean Marine Protected Areas (MedPAN) and its partners, the Regional Activity Centre for Specially Protected Areas (RAC/SPA), the General Directorate of Natural Assets Protection (Turkey) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Turkey, are organizing the 2012 Forum of Marine Protected Areas in the Mediterranean.
This major event will be held from November 25th to 28th, 2012 in Antalya, Turkey.
All Mediterranean countries are committed, through the Barcelona Convention and its Protocol concerning Specially Protected Areas and Biological Diversity in the Mediterranean, to contribute to the implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity.
One of the objectives is to establish, by 2020, well-managed and ecologically representative national and regional systems of protected areas, covering at least 10% of the oceans.
This Forum will serve as a platform to review the progress of the Mediterranean MPA network developed over the last years, and establish a common roadmap for 2020 in order to meet marine conservation challenges in the region.
AdriaPAN will be there with a own stand and will be involved within the workshops activities.
All the AdrtiaPAN member are invited to take part to the forum and/or send promotional papers, of own protected areas, to the AdriaPAN stand.
