The IUCN World Conservation Congress was held in Marseille in September, 2021, against the backdrop of a continuing COVID-19 pandemic. To facilitate the participation of local partners in our Congo Basin Programme in the Congress, Synchronicity Earth sponsored and co-created a ‘Mini-Congress’ in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) for eight of our Congo Basin partner organisations plus one guest organisation. The event was a huge success, with partners coming together to present their work and successes, discuss common challenges and engage together remotely with other conservationists attending the Congress in Marseille.
