This year, 2007, marks the 75th anniversary of the founding Peace Park and Waterton-Glacier now shares the honorific designation with more than 135 International Peace Parks around the world. The parks are as varied as the places they protect, but all share two things - bringing people together to help protect their heritage and providing opportunities for finding peace.
The Parks, Peace and Partnerships Conference will bring together world experts on the establishment and management of International Peace Parks and other transboundary conservation initiatives.
Our aim is to share success stories, embrace challenges and advance the theory and practice of transboundary protected area management globally.
Members of the media interested in attending the conference are asked to check in at the registration desk where a media pass will be provided.
