CEL REGIONAL VICE CHAIR AT IUCN ASIA REGIONAL CONSERVATION FORUM
13 January 2004
 IUCN CEL Regional Vice Chair for South East Asia, Prof. Koh Kheng Lian, attended the Asia Regional Conservation Forum hosted jointly by IUCN and the Government of Sri Lanka, in Colombo, on December 10-13 2003. The Forum aimed at identifying critical environmental and conservation issues facing the region as well as facilitating the co-ordination on how best to address these concerns. The focus of the Forum was on four main themes: From the Mountains to the Sea - how to manage ecosystems as landscapes; Conservation as a Poverty Reduction Strategy - supporting livelihoods and minimizing insecurity and vulnerability; Benefits Beyond Boundaries - how do we manage protected areas after World Parks Congress 2003; and The Failure of Cancun - trade globalization and poverty. With the input from IUCN Members, Commissions and Partners, the Asia Regional Conservation Forum shaped the new IUCN Conservation Agenda for Asia in the next five years.
