Weekends on the virtual ‘IHBC@COP26 ‘Conservation Helpdesk+’ focus on offering the most fundamental resources in the IHBC’s armoury of conservation principles and practice.
IHBC Director Seán O’Reilly said: ‘For the weekends of COP26, things quieten down on the IHBC’s Conservation Helpdesk+, as ‘Climate and Conservation’ Podcasts pause and Feature Hosts take a well-deserved rest!’
‘So we’ll be offering a simple advisory and reference service ‘on demand’, with core resources posted on our ‘IHBC@COP26 ‘Conservation Helpdesk+ web page.
The IHBC writes:
