The Community Taba: Local Voices for a Global Vision
8th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity. The Taba will demonstrate, in the heart of COP8, that community members, working in partnership with local governments, local and national NGOs, and international organizations, are increasingly taking action to meet their basic needs while preserving the biological resources on which not only their own, but everyone’s future survival depends. The Community Taba will facilitate exchange amongst grassroots community leaders, leverage their talents towards achieving concrete results, and connect them with national and international policymakers and funders. The Community Taba will play host to a home space created by and for community representatives which will provide opportunities to: * Organize and coordinate their participation in the official discussions of the COP. * Share information, priorities, and concerns with others who are struggling to sustain their families and communities within high biodiversity areas. * Assess how peer learning exchanges and other raining processes can increase the effectiveness of community conservation and sustainable biodiversity use. * Manage a significant global media presence to ensure the messages of the community leaders are communicated openly and accurately. * Own and occupy a comfortable space that will complement and support the daily events.
