Marine Protected Areas of the Southern Cone
About the cycle: 2021
Webinar 1 - Best MPAs in the region
Webinar 2 - Towards an effective conservation network
About the cycle: 2021
Webinars seek to contribute to the dialogue on marine protected areas (MPAs) under the challenge of generating representative systems of environmental heterogeneity capable of sustaining themselves in the face of climate change. The participants were referents of the institutions committed to the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity, both governmental and academic and civil society.
