Dear Members, Partners and Friends,
We are pleased to announce a new Online Discussion Series.
Join us for the launch of our online discussion series “COVID and the Conservation Finance Community”, with the first discussion being held on Monday, April 20th at 10:00AM EST.
There is no doubt that COVID-19 has had far reaching impacts on the global stage. Ranging from the healthcare sector to the global economy, and from climate change to our own interpersonal daily lives as we adjust to this ‘new normal’, the impacts of the novel coronavirus will surely be felt for the coming years.
Members of the CFA have proposed an online discussion to explore how COVID-19 is impacting local, national and global efforts towards conservation finance – the first discussion will focus on Conservation Trust Funds but can cover related topics such as PA Finance. Some of the questions we will discuss include:
-What are CTFs doing to adapt to the current situation? Is anyone using their “Emergency Funds” as cash to help out?
- What are the lessons we have already learned going forward? Are we learning new ways of working and of communicating?
- Can (or should) we re-allocate priorities to reinforce fragile health care delivery systems?
-With no tourist income, most social projects on hold, and normal fundraising interrupted, or being redirected, what options should we be preparing for?
-What can we see as opportunities (or silver-linings) in this crisis? Clearly the closing of wildlife markets in China is a big benefit but what else should we be pushing for?
Join us as we feature a panel of colleagues to discuss these and other related issues!
Manali Baruah thank you for posting this interesting online discussion. - Bruce
