The Parks for the Planet Forum was launched by Salzburg Global Seminar and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as a ten-year collaborative platform to transform and catalyze leadership and action to deliver the Promise of Sydney.
The second installment in the series in November 2016, The Next Frontier: Transboundary Cooperation for Biodiversity and Peace, looked towards transboundary conservation areas and what can be done to not just ensure their continued survival, but also enhance and augment their value in a variety of means – whether it be economic, socio-cultural, environmental or political. The Forum brought together 38 activists, leaders, directors, managers, students, professors from 26countries representing almost every continent.
