More than 10,000 young people will connect and exchange ideas online at the first-ever International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Global Youth Summit, from 6 to 16 April. The outcomes of the Summit will be presented to the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Marseille, France, in September 2021, helping engage and empower the voice of youth in nature conservation around the world.
The Global Youth Summit will address topics including the relationship between people and nature, climate change, marine and freshwater conservation, technology and innovation, and rights, governance and social justice. The event will feature three high-level intergenerational dialogues, 60+ youth-led workshops, dozens of informal networking sessions, body awareness classes and a weekend film festival.

Images captured on camera traps installed in South Sudan’s Southern National Park included an African wild dog, one of the continent’s rarest carnivores, providing further evidence that South Sudan is a potential treasure trove of threatened species whose populations are in steep decline elsewhere in Africa.
“The early camera-trap images have come up with some thrilling results and we expect more exciting discoveries the longer the cameras are out in the field. FFI’s team had to adapt operations when the Covid-19 restrictions came into force, only making the challenge more interesting.” Benoit Morkel, FFI Landscape Manager, South Sudan
