Nicolas Maslach, director of the Réserve Naturelle of Saint Martin was among the 300 representatives including experts, organizations, and partners at the meeting for the French committee of the UICN (International Union For The Conservation of Nature), which was held on June 12, 2019 in Marseille. The goal of this meeting was to prepare for the World Nature Congress of the UICN, scheduled for June 11-19, 2020 in Marseille. This event included the discussion of 28 recommendations concerning some of the biggest challenges in terms of the conservation of nature on a worldwide basis. The Réserve Naturelle is going to present its candidature for the UICN’s Green List, as it did in 2017, sadly right before hurricane Irma hit the island. This Green List includes 46 sites, 14 of which are in mainland and overseas France. The UICN’s Green List of Protected Areas sets the global standard for best practices for conservation by zone. It includes a system of certification for protected areas (national parks, worldwide natural heritage sites, areas protected by their communities, marine parks, etc.) that are properly managed and promote a positive approach to conservation.
