Bring the nature conservation community and interested public from your country together and become a Pacific Nature Conference Local Hub.
Together you can plan and host one or more local events within your country and as such help strengthen our regional connection with your country. Through the Local Hubs we hope to facilitate interaction between and with Pacific people, both locally and regionally.
Hub events could do various things such as:
-
Streaming the conference live and inviting the nature conservation community and the public to attend; and/or
-
Holding a local event to encourage showcasing nature conservation action and related resilience and to discuss the Pacific initiated conservation agenda for beyond 2020. This can be in the period running up to the conference or on the morning of Thursday 26th of November (during the conference).
​
We encourage Hubs to be creative!

-
