become the 2016-2017 CC-IUCN Youth Ambassadors. </b>The successful Youth
Ambassadors will work with the committee to connect youth to nature
before, during and after the IUCN World Conservation Congress (WCC)
through online engagement, and connecting and working with other
Canadian and international organizations and events. The CC-IUCN will
provide up to $2500 in funding for each chosen Youth Ambassador to
register and attend the WCC. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is a volunteer
position and will require a commitment of approximately 10 hours a
month for a one-year term (with an increased commitment level expected
directly before, during and after the WCC).</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Held once every four years, the IUCN World Conservation Congress
brings together thousands of leaders and decision-makers from
government, civil society, Indigenous Peoples, youth, business, and
academia, with the goal of conserving the environment and harnessing the
solutions nature offers to global challenges.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Congress aims
to improve how we manage our natural environment for human, social and
economic development, but this cannot be achieved by conservationists
alone. The IUCN Congress is the place to put aside differences and work
together to create good environmental governance, engaging all parts of
society to share both the responsibilities and the benefits of
conservation.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The next WCC will take place September 1-10, 2016. </span><br />

After the World Parks Congress, I spent 3 days near Noosa National Park to soak up some rays and debrief on my time at the Congress. After my return, and a much-needed recovery period from jet lag, I am still trying to process all of the learnings and inspiring conversations that I was able to have at the Congress. It's difficult. There were so many amazing experiences and so many incredible people that it's hard to write it all down, let alone process it in my busy brain. <br />
<br />
And my brain hasn't stopped, despite the whirlwind of a trip coming to an end. And oh it was a whirlwind. My itinerary looked something like this (and the other CC-IUCN youths' itinerary was similiar!):<br />
<br />
<b>Nov 5 </b>- Left Vancouver at 11:40 pm for a fun flight ahead<br />
<b>November 7 </b>- Arrived in Sydney, headed directly to the Blue Mountains for a WCPA Young Professionals Pre-Congress gathering with 30 inspiring conservation professionals from around the world. This is where we began drafting our "Young People's Pact" to present at the Congress. I took advantage of every free moment to head for a trail run or hike in the nearby park with new friends - this place was magical!<br />

I learned a ton, I met so many amazing people, but I think the overall message I'm taking away is the ever-important concept of collaboration. Collaboration between young people in Canada and all over the world, between different generations of conservation leaders, between organizations working within the conservation movement itself - whether it be government organizations, non profits, or passionate individuals...<br />
<br />
Perhaps most importantly, I learned the true benefit and need for collaboration with groups outside the typical walls of the conservation movement.<br />
<br />
If we are going to overcome the large issues we are currently facing (and the issues that are yet to come) -- issues like climate change, young peoples' disconnect from nature, massive global biodiversity loss -- we need people to care. We need to reach people across the globe, in diverse communities, and in differing ways to really meet them at their level. I believe that in order to reach these people, we need to work with partners that have the ability to reach different groups than us, who can help us grow our impact. I am excited to see how I can work with the business community, with the arts community, with who-knows-what-other-types-of-communities-we-haven't-thought-to-work-with-yet, to work specifically towards connecting young people in Canada to the outdoors.<br />
<br />
Collaboration for the win!<br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The Global
Youth Ambassadors worked with another group called the Young Professionals to
come up with a Young People’s Legacy that would be presented during the closing
ceremonies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The team in total
consisted of around 100 Congress participants aged 20-35 from all around the
world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a group of like-minded
individuals all working towards the same goal, I was incredibly surprised by
the challenges and conflicts that arose in the process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many strong voices with differing
opinions were involved that batted heads over what was most important to
include in the legacy piece and what should be articulated in its presentation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Eventually, the Young People’s Pact
emerged.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The pact is a document
outlining the concerns and commitments of young people as well as actions that
organizations and agencies around the world can take to ensure the participation
of young people in their processes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I fully supported the document, but couldn’t help not to see it just as
another report full of fancy words to add to the mix of reports that already
exist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I didn’t quite see how it
would result in on-the-ground action and change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">A large
contingent of the young people (including myself) wanted our presentation at
the closing ceremony to be noticed, and we knew that in order to do this, we
had to make it as different as possible from the typical politicians’ speeches
discussed above.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the major
things I learned from the Congress was that, in order for presenters to connect
with an audience, they need two things- creativity and emotion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Creativity sparks the initial interest
and pulls people away from their iPhones and tablets, while emotion gets
through to the audience and evokes a response.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Much of the conflict amongst the young people coming up with
the legacy revolved around finding a balance between creativity and
professionalism.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We wanted to grab
attention but also be taken seriously.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I ended up focusing my efforts on the creative side because I really
believed that without it, the pact and presentation would just be another
document and speech of nice-sounding words to add to the rest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In order to accomplish this, a song was
written by George Woodhouse called "Unleash the Heart (Unlock the Mind)" that essentially turned the pact into music- we performed it at
Congress sessions, the closing plenary, and on a radio show.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also organized a flash mob following
the closing ceremony that got many of the Congress participants (including
high-level politicians) dancing and laughing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">It is
difficult to articulate through written words the impact that a simple song and
some dance moves had upon the Congress, but it really was profound.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Energy was infused into all 6000 participants
and the hopeful optimism yet practical realism of the “next generation” was
showcased.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our display differed so
drastically from the other presentations during the Congress that it caused an
overwhelming amount of positive, emotional feedback to roll in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

During the World Parks Congress, I was actively
involved in a variety of inspiring discussions, including some that shed light
on the tremendous work that individuals are doing to connect people with parks
and nature, as well as the need for intergenerational dialogues. </div>

Last week I was invited to present a case study during the
Stream 8 Intergenerational Dialogues for Protected Areas Management session. As
a founder of the Global Youth Biodiversity Network, I outlined the role that intergenerational
dialogues have played in its establishment, continued growth, and its success
as the main youth constituency at the United Nations Convention on Biological
Diversity. I found this session to be particularly inspiring because the
majority of the individuals who attended were adults who were quite keen to
integrate youth into their organizations and decision making processes. </div>

Later
that afternoon I co-facilitated the ‘Empowering Young People to be Agents of Change’
session. Thirteen individuals from around the world (U.S., Australia, Vietnam, Papa New Guinea and Guinea Bissau) shared the work that they are doing in their schools
and communities to connect youth to nature and parks. The room was packed,
the stories being shared were inspiring, and people were so motivated and
intrigued by what they heard that many of them stayed afterwards to chat with each other and the
speakers (what I consider to be a huge success!). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Overall, I was left with a lot of hope for the
future of parks, and the role that youth will play in the conservation of these
important areas. </div>

Apart from the sessions that I was directly involved in, I also attended many sessions that I felt would contribute to my academic research, including workshops on landscape connectivity, capacity building, citizen science, protected area climate change adaptability, and those related to the recent Convention on Biological Diversity outcomes. These conversations, although frustrating at times (because some people do not always recognize the spatial variability of systems and processes), were generally very intriguing, and contributed greatly to my personal research of these topics. </div>

I also had the opportunity to attend a couple different networking evening events, including the Canadian Delegates dinner, as well as the Mountain Stream dinner. It was at the mountain dinner that I got to meet and talk to Harvey Locke, an individual that I find incredibly inspiring (founder of the Yellowstone to Yukon Initiative). He was very interested in the research that I am doing in the Kluane National Park region, and was full of positive support and encouragement. </div>

Wow! What a week! My brain is buzzing and my heart is full.
On Wednesday the World Parks Congress came to a close. The week was a whirlwind
of thought provoking speakers, sessions, inspiring conversations and
exceptional company. I learned more about areas of interest such as environmental
education, sustainable tourism practices and the health benefits of being
immersed in nature. In addition I exposed myself to concepts which I’d had
little knowledge of prior to the congress. A non-stop supply of interesting
facts, people and learning opportunities came full throttle in 8 short days. Now
that the week has come to a wrap it’s time to sit back and digest.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Something that has really resonated with me during my time
at the congress are the unexpected connections. One evening taking a late train
after a long day, I started conversation with a fellow congress attendee. As it
turned out he was also from Canada and spent time living in my current place of
residence. We soon discovered he worked on the steering committee for the
conservation area I had worked in during the summer. The following day I
attended a session related to a peoples’ sense of place in nature. I had
actually cited this researcher’s work in my master’s thesis. Throughout the
week I came across a number of people whose research I admired. These
connections made the world seem a little smaller and my contributions more
meaningful in the big picture. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Equally as important as hearing from inspirational leaders were
the conversations shared with my fellow youth delegates. In taking time getting
to know many of them, I realized I was surrounded by a group of thought
provoking people doing amazing things. These people give me hope for the future
of the planet because these individuals ARE and will CONTINUE to make a
difference. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This past week was not just an opportunity to feel an
increased sense of connection to the planet but also an increased connection with
the people who are making it a better place. Stories inspire. They are also
capable of reaching people of all ages and cultures. There is a certain electric
energy that comes when people that are passionate about a cause get together,
and I was fortunate to hear so many unforgettable stories in the last several
days. After a high-energy week we needed a plan for moving forward, so that the
excitement didn’t end with the closing ceremonies. In the Inspiring a New
Generation stream we were asked to make a short-term commitment of how we could
better the future through our actions. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
committed to taking young people who haven’t had many opportunities to spend
time in nature, outside. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What will your commitment be? <o:p></o:p></div>

Echo Point and the Three Sisters, which were both beautiful spots but swarming
with tourists.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, as I
usually find is the case with popular park areas, it only took about ten
minutes of hiking to escape the crowds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The Blue Mountains National Park is a vast landscape of dense, rolling
forest surrounded by dramatic outcrops and sheer cliffs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The view extended as far as the eye could
see and reminded me of the immense size of protected areas and how integral
they really are for the health of our planet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We descended a set of steep stairs to the valley bottom,
constantly listening to the loud squawks produced by nearby birds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Having two Australian Scout leaders
along was very handy because they were able to tell us about all of the
wildlife, plants and sounds we encountered along the way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We saw two Lyre birds, which were brown
and white with long tail feathers (to the Scout leaders’ dismay, us Canadians
mistakenly thought they were peacocks at first).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lyre birds are
an iconic species of the New South Wales region and can be seen on their Parks
& Wildlife emblem, so we felt pretty lucky to stumble across them in the
wild.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also saw a blue-tongued
water dragon and many, many colourful birds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One thing that was immediately obvious about the forest of
the Blue Mountains was that it is host to an immense level of biological
diversity; we came across countless types of vegetation, birds and insects
during just a few hours in the bush.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">At one point, we found a
large boulder and all climbed it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After being there for just a few moments, a cockatoo flew over and spent
about the next 15 minutes hanging out with us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It came within inches of each of us and was repeating the
word “hello!” We were completely in awe and took a number of cockatoo selfies
and videos.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was an experience
that even the Australian Scout leaders had never had.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the hike back out of the valley, we crossed many streams
and small waterfalls with microclimates that were much wetter and more
rainforest-like than the rest of the hike.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They also felt a lot cooler and provided a nice break from
the hot temperatures everywhere else.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri;">Australian hospitality was ever-present that night because the Aussies in the group put on a barbeque for the rest of us in a local park. They cooked all the works- sausages, veggie burgers, and kangaroo meat, and showed us that it’s only a real Australian burger if it has beetroots and pineapple on it. I tried a small piece of kangaroo meat (the first time I’d eaten meat in quite some time), because with my vegetarianism I have always told myself that if it’s something I’ve never tried before, I’ll try it. Kangaroos are only hunted in Australia if their populations are too high and they need to be culled, so it is considered to be sustainable eco-friendly meat. Our hosts topped off the night with Tim Tams and eucalyptus sweets that we ate under the stars and reflected upon the day. I really can’t imagine a more perfect final day in Australia! </span></div>

<!--EndFragment-->CC-IUCN-Youthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17239469045067321813noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8440071184683955219.post-69088078163770603272014-11-17T02:45:00.000-08:002014-11-17T02:45:03.998-08:00Aussie Parks & Rangers - by Mila The Congress halted for the day yesterday so everyone could take a breather and embark upon excursions to nearby wilderness areas. I managed to squeeze my way into a spot on the Cumberland Plain excursion by being part of the Young People's Media Coalition, meaning I had to document the day using social media and report back to the organizers afterwards. The Cumberland Plain is located just West of Sydney and is the most rapidly developing area of the Sydney Basin. Prior to European settlement, the plain took up over 1000 square km of fertile woodlands and forests that soon became focal points for agriculture. Unfouranetly, development over the years has left only 9% of the original native vegetation which has resulted in many native plant and animal communities becoming threatened. <br />
<br />
We learned from park rangers about the ecological restoration and threatened species initiatives that are underway to protect the fragile area. Interstingly, some of the issues that the parks here face are mirrored to a great degree back in Canada. A few weeks ago, myself and the other leaders of the UBC Parks Canada Club took 25 students to Fort Rodd Hill National Historic Site on Vancouver Island for a weekend of restoring the Gary Oak ecosystem. We battled against the forces of human settlement by removing invasive species of Daphne and planting native Camas bulbs. Similarly, Australian parks fight to keep invasive African Olive at bay so that it does not take over the rest of an already fragile ecosystem. Many of the techniques used here are the same as I experienced on Vancouver Island (such as using simple gardening tools and man/woman power), yet others differ. For example, we were shown a tractor that is used to pull out large African Olive specimens and told that their main volunteer contingent consists of four elderly men. This got me thinking more about youth engagement in conservation- although we managed to successfully get 25 university students to volunteer in the Gary Oak ecosystem for a weekend, how can we inspire long-term committment in conservation issues? Hopefully some of the Congress sessions will help me answer this question (some definitely already have).<br />
<br />
Cattai National Park also has a fascinating program to help the local population of micro-bats. One component of the program is research- they trap and study the bats to find out the number and characteristics of each species. A ranger was pulling out bats from a cooler that had been trapped the night before and showing them to our group. The other part of the project is habitat protection- they build small wooden homes for the bats in the trees to make up for the habitat loss that has occurred in the area. In Scheyville National park, we learned about land management and saw an example of a fire treatment program for weed control and native species regeneration. It was fascinating to see some of the concepts I've learned about in school being applied on the ground here in Australia.<br />
<br />
I love hearing stories. I made a point asking the rangers what their favourite or most interesting/crazy memory from the park is. After speaking to us about the technical and artistic aspects of aboriginal rock art we saw in Cattai National Park, the first ranger seemed a bit taken aback by my question. He gained his composure quickly though and launched into an account of how he is most proud when he can share the culture of the land with the young people he cares about. He spoke of bringing his nieces and nephews into the park and seeing them transform at that moment into stewards of the land. This once again stressed the importance that personal, first-hand experiecnes in natural and cultural areas play in fostering a sense of respect, care and stewardship. <br />
<br />
The second ranger I asked took a much different approach to the question. He went more along the lines of an "interesting/crazy" memory than a favourite one. Apparently, drunk hooligans made their way into the park one night to chase kangaroos. He didn't go into details, but I can only imagine that it must have been a long night and a heck of a crowd to deal with.<br />
<br />
Although it may be the typical cliche tourist thing to say, my highlight of the day was definitley seeing kangaroos in Cattai National Park. A group of about ten of them bolted past our group in a way that looked like they were half running, half hopping. I was very startled by their size and speed.<br />
<br />
Australia Parks & Wildlife Service faces both similar and different problems than those in Canada, yet one aspect stayed consistent in my comparison of the two countries. The park rangers implementing the programs absolutely love what they do. They are the people who make the magic happen on the ground, and their passion and dedication are absolutely mindblowing.<br />

returned from the Young Professionals Pre-Congress Youth Capacity Building
Workshop in the Blue Mountains. This workshop brought together 28 passionate
young adults from around the world to share ideas and work towards creating the
Young Peoples Pact that will be presented during the World Parks Congress. I
found it very rewarding to finally get to meet many of the youth whom I have
been working with during the months leading up to the congress. One of the
first activities we worked on was a break out 'sticky note' session. Each youth
had the opportunity to contribute text on sticky notes, expressing their
opinions about what makes us happy as young conservation leaders in protected
area work, what we feel the challenges and barriers are, and what we want the
new generation of conservation to look like. This discussion was the initial
step that has shaped our Young Peoples Pact. The Young Peoples Pact for People,
Parks and Planet is a document that will contribute to the Promise of
Sydney, and sets a series of protected area conservation action items that
young people will commit to for the next ten years. </span></div>

the collaborative brain storming sessions, I had the opportunity to explore and
learn about the areas cultural and natural history through a hiking tour. The
hike began with a traditional smoke ceremony, and then my group explored a
hiking trail with two of the parks rangers. The rangers pointed our all of the fascinating
flora and fauna along the trail, including some of the majestic bird species,
and local medicinal plants for us to try. At one point I saw the distinct web
of the funnel web spider, which was quite terrifying, as it is apparently the
worlds most venomous spider! I survived :) Our hiked weaved throughout
beautiful waterfalls and unique geomorphic features, which was quite a new
landscape for me. The hike was a very important opportunity for me to connect
to the local landscape and help me clear our mind after our lengthy
international dialogues and debates. </span></div>

in Sydney, to tour around their building and learn about some of the innovative
ways they are keeping their employees happy (free cafes, games rooms, a room
for staff napping!). We had a fun interactive workshop with one of the staff, which
showed us how to use some of their free mapping tools for our own networks and
projects. We learnt about 'my maps', 'tour builder', 'open data kit', and
'photo spheres'. I really enjoyed working with 'my maps', and just used this

Mandela spoke at the 2003 World Parks Congress in Durban, South Africa, and was
honoured here in Sydney by his grandson, Luvuyo Mandela.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Luvuyo carried on his grandfather’s
legacy of placing large importance upon the voices of youth and the next
generation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think that I can
speak for all of the young people in attendance when I say that Mandela’s
tribute made me feel an inherent sense of pride at being a young person.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The tribute set the stage for the youth
of the Congress to contribute, be heard, and be valued.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All we need to do is prove that we
deserve it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>A
visual performance that included acrobatics, dance, video and impressive audio
power wrapped up the ceremony.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
performance was undoubtedly entertaining, yet also presented an important
message that again stressed the importance of young people’s involvement in
parks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It began with a little
girl’s first experience in an Australian rainforest- an experience that she
carried with her for the rest of her life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even when living in the city, she was able to remember the
feeling she had in that rainforest and resultantly escaped back into nature
whenever possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The performance
beautifully represented all of the research that has been put into the ideas of
significant life experience, place-based learning, and connection between
experiences in natural as a child and continued environmental consciousness
later in life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a series of
serious, professional (and frankly, somewhat dry) speeches, the final
performance reminded the audience of the true beauty of nature- that it is
playful, positive, care-free and fun.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Imagine putting 40 strong youthful voices
from 16 countries in a room together for a day to discuss parks, protected
areas, youth engagement, and connecting to nature. Going into it, I knew
that that was what the Global Youth Ambassador Pre-Congress Workshop was
all about, but it ended up being much more than is possible to describe in an
emailed invitation. We were challenged, stimulated and I was exposed to
perspectives on parks that had never before crossed my mind. In the end,
I realized that the challenges Canadian parks face are undoubtedly mirrored in
some instances around the globe, yet differ entirely from others. Valeria
from Mexico spoke passionately about the security issues in her country that
prevent people from experiencing the outdoors- she explained that driving in
Mexico is a risk to life that people are not willing to take in order to visit
a park.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hearing from Valeria made
me reflect on the challenges we so frequently speak of in Canada and made our
struggles almost seem petty in comparison. We often get wrapped up in
discussing the obstacles that prevent Canadian youth from getting outside
(things such as cost, not owning a car or not knowing where to go); these are
undoubtedly real issues, but hey, at least we have safe roads. Overall
however, the issues that parks face to engage youth in nature are paralleled
around the globe, and the workshop proved to be a fantastic opportunity to
bounce ideas off one another and become connected to a network of global youth
working towards the same goals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
day was kickstarted with a talk from Alan Latourelle, the CEO of Parks
Canada.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve had the opportunity
to encounter Alan a number of times now, and one thing has remained very clear
with each encounter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Alan lives
and breathes parks and conservation and believes in what he’s doing right down
the core.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is refreshing to see
such a passion and spark in the leader of a government agency who undoubtedly
has to deal with endless policy, restrictions and negativity on a daily
basis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Alan spoke about the
“moment that seizes our heart” when experiencing something in the outdoors for
the first time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It can happen on
the summit of a mountain after a long hike, swimming in a glacial lake, or
while having a picnic in a local urban park.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No matter how it happens, this feeling is one that every
Canadian deserves to have, and is why 5000 delegates from around the world are
coming together for an event that has been ten years in the making.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>We
heard next from Carl Solomon, an Australian with an extensive personal profile
that includes founding Right To Play and directing tourism for New South Wales
Parks & Wildlife.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What
resonated with me most in Carl’s talk was the idea of “inspiring learning”
instead of education.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He also
stressed the importance of having a clear vision, laying out a road map,
keeping it simple, and having the conviction to do things differently.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Carl is clearly an innovative thinker
who has had huge amounts of success in his life from sticking to these key
strategies and, as he stated, having some fun along the way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Carl’s experience with both the
environmental side (by working with parks) and the social justice side (from
Right To Play) made me reflect that they are one in the same.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The cultural, social, human side is wholeheartedly
intertwined with the natural, outdoorsy, environmental side.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Choosing between a path in social
justice vs. the environment is something that I still toy with constantly, and
Carl made me realize that it does not have to be a choice, and in fact, it
shouldn’t be. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Damien Mander’s
keynote address touched on the same concept.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Damien founded the International Anti-Poaching Foundation
that works in Mozambique and South Africa to implement direct-action
anti-poaching techniques.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His
organization approaches the conservation issue from a social perspective by
seeing it as a social problem; villagers see poaching as a way out of poverty,
yet so many men die and end up leaving their wives and children alone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Damien’s experience reiterated what
Carl touched on- humans and the environment influence and affect one another
and creating a separation between them only worsens the situation for each.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The
40 youth and 5000 total Congress participants all started their journey
somewhere, and more often than not it was a profound, personal experience in
the outdoors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Emma spoke about
family camping trips in Paraguay that she went on as a kid that sparked her
passion for environmental stewardship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>For myself personally, I’ve had countless moments that have seized my
heart in the Canadian wilderness, and I have no doubt in my mind that they are
what brought me to be among such an amazing group of people right now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In my view, these moments are why we
are here connecting, collaborating and inspiring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These moments need to be shared, they need to be celebrated,
and they need to be felt by all, because the future of our earth and our people
depends upon it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What I hope to
gain from the World Parks Congress are real, tangible action strategies that
seize the hearts of people around the world and connect our generation to the
incredulity of the outdoors. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
