Goal: Improved awareness and knowledge across all stakeholder groups about ecological connectivity, its threats, its linkages and importance for achieving global social, environmental and economic priorities
The Partnership will engage in raising awareness and disseminating information to increase public understanding of ecological connectivity. This will include building support among a greater diversity of policymakers, the private sector and donors, and encouraging practical and behavioural changes. Such activities will be developing and implementing campaigns, designing and disseminating communication materials such as best practices and success stories, and organising collaborative workshops or other events.
This website will be a central hub to ensure easy access to resources, updates and information about the partnership’s progress.
Collective Priorities
- Identify and develop flagship connectivity knowledge products for dissemination
- Organize trainings/ workshops/webinars for government representatives, public and private sectors, banks and donors, to improve understanding of ecological connectivity generally- e.g. scale, types, biotic and abiotic etc. and its importance
- Maintain a list of relevant global regional and national events (e.g. IUCN World Conservation Congresses, Conferences of Parties, etc.) for potential participation, collaboration and organize side events and/or larger meetings on connectivity
- Raise awareness of importance of ecological connectivity in delivering critical ecosystem services and the importance of socio-ecological connectivity for building resilient, sustainable, and inclusive landscapes and seascapes
- Increase visibility and awareness of GPEC work and objectives, across all stakeholder groups
