- From
poachers to protectors: Young conservationist honoured
A Rwandan conservationist who helped turn mountain gorilla poachers
into tourism guides has been given an award by the IUCN World
Commission on Protected Areas and the International Ranger Federation.

- IUCN
Honours outstanding achievers for protected areas
Countries around the world have set aside more than 12% of the
earth’s land surface as protected areas - a remarkable achievement.
Even more remarkable are the efforts of individuals who have worked
tirelessly to promote and protect these unique areas, often at
great personal risk and danger. IUCN honors such people through
the Fred Packard Award – a key award made by IUCN’s
World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA) to recognize globally
outstanding service to protected areas. The following seven outstanding
individuals will be recognized at the WCPA Members meeting on
4 October, held prior to the IUCN World Conservation Congress.
- Web
design company to set up the website for the joint programme (and

The Joint Programme “Culture and Heritage for Social and
Economic Development” was primarily designed to achieve
outcomes derived from the national priorities of Albania that
are consistent with the Millennium Development Goals and the One
UN programme, approved by the Albanian Government in October 2007.
Sectoral priorities for culture and culture-related issues in
Albania focus predominantly on rehabilitating cultural monuments,
with a secondary priority for leveraging Albania’s culture
as a tourist attraction. Joint programme outcomes were designed
to expand these two concerns to meet wider development objectives.

to the point that it was certain that this hostile forest region
had been only occupied by primitive or residual groups, some of
which could have been expelled from the most favorable Andean
heights by the carriers of higher civilizations developed on the
plateau. Immense works are open then, on which North American,
English, German, and also French work around Stephan Rostain who
has studied for twenty-five years the known archaeological vestiges
on the Guyana coasts, at the same time as the evolution of its
landscape…

The World Monuments Watch calls international attention to

cultural landscapes to historic city centres, the Watch identifies
places of significance in need of timely action. Every two years,
WMF accepts new nominations to the Watch, from which 100 are selected
for listing. Watch listing provides an opportunity for sites and
their nominators to raise public awareness, foster local participation,
advance innovation and collaboration, and demonstrate effective
solutions. The Watch nomination process also serves as a vehicle

from the seven cycles of the Watch; nearly half of these have
received WMF grants, totalling $50 million.
