Poverty and conservation information portal fosters communication

Poverty and conservation information portal fosters communication

The online information portal www.PovertyandConservation.info is the key mechanism for sharing information and experience on poverty-conservation linkages. It is accessible to anyone with an interest in the subject or wants to build a greater understanding of the issues. The web site provides: a bibliographic database; an organizations database; an initiatives database; and a database of case studies. In addition, you can sign up to receive the Poverty and Conservation Learning Group's monthly newsletter – BIOSOC (The Biodiversity and Society Bulletin) in English, French or Spanish. The web site was launched at CoP8 in Curitiba, Brazil during two-side events on protect areas and equity. The Poverty and Conservation Learning Group is coordinated by the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) and supported by the Ford Foundation, Development Cooperation Ireland, and the Africa Wildlife Foundation.
