Workshop on Nature Conservation and Biodiversity for Transboundary Cooperation will be jointly organized by the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) and the National Institute of Ecology of the Republic of Korea (NIE) in Incheon, Republic of Korea on 28-29 August 2024.

The workshop plans to review NEASPEC projects on flagship species such as Amur Tigers, Amur Leopards, and Snow Leopards, and discuss a new project on migratory birds including Black-faced Spoonbills, Hooded Cranes, and White-naped Cranes. These projects emphasize the importance of cross-border protected areas, ecological corridors, and effective habitat management. The workshop also focuses on discussing lessons learned and providing recommendations to inform future strategies and directions for nature conservation under NEASPEC.
