Organized in association with the twenty-ninth Senior Officials Meeting (SOM-29) of NEASPEC, the Capacity-building Workshop on Nature Conservation and Ecological Connectivity in North-East Asia will bring together government representatives, protected-area managers, researchers, conservation practitioners, international organizations and youth on 26–27 November 2026 in Moscow. The workshop will examine ecological connectivity as a shared requirement for conserving migratory birds, big cats and biodiversity more broadly across national boundaries. Through case studies, practical exchanges and an interactive policy dialogue, participants will explore how conservation needs can be better connected with policy and planning and identify opportunities for coordinated action among countries, sectors and stakeholders in North-East Asia.
