Webinars

Development by Design with Indigenous communities in Australia: An innovative way of linking conservation planning with development decision making.

Too often, land use decision-making happens in isolation from conservation planning. Development by Design seeks to overcome this barrier by connecting the impact assessment process to a communities conservation plan. This webinar will explore in a case study how TNC Australia partnered with Walalakoo Aboriginal Corporation in Western Australia to adapt the Development by Design process and build it around the group’s Healthy Country Plan.

Scaling Indigenous-led Conservation using the Conservation Standards - Scaling Challenge

Over the course of a year the CoP Indigenous CS Projects participated in a learning network facilitated by Foundations of Success (FOS) with the project "Scaling of Indigenous-led Conservation using the Conservation Standards" (SILC). Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities for many years expressed the need for tools that enable their leadership and equitable participation in conservation initiatives - a message only amplified by the Global Biodiversity Framework and its 30x30 target. Join the CoP Indigenous CS Projects and FOS for this webinar to learn about the project and explore an exciting new tool FOS has developed to help projects going to scale.
