🏔️ Proud to have our colleagues in Granada with Huawei Spain and Sierra Nevada National Park in Spain during the II International Mountain Congress (CIMAS II) to celebrate the renewal of the Park's status as an IUCN Green List site and continue #Tech4Nature collaborations. “Sierra Nevada National Park is proud to have renewed its membership in the IUCN Green List and continue belonging to a club of excellence in nature conservation that respects the local community and implements appropriate management that responds to the challenges of climate change, health, and well-being,” said Francisco de Asís Muñoz Collado, Director of Sierra Nevada National Park. The Park received initially the IUCN Green List of Protected and Conserved Areas Diploma at COP16 on Biodiversity in Cali, Colombia in recognition of excellence in protected area management. At CIMAS II, IUCN organized also two sessions on biodiversity protection and sustainability in mountain ecosystems, including their critical importance in achieving global conservation goals and the need for the appropriate use of technology to deliver safe and nature-friendly outdoor experiences. We explored how to integrate conservation, #recreation, and #technology in the sustainable management of #mountain ecosystems. Huawei and IUCN presented the achievements and next steps of the Tech4Nature Phase I project in Spain, which assessed requirements for balancing recreation and nature conservation in four protected areas: Sierra Nevada National Park, Ordesa y Monte Perdido, and Sierra de Guadarrama, and the Natural Park of Sant Llorenç del Munt i l'Obac. Phase II of the Tech4Nature project will continue to improve conservation and visitor management through digital solutions, enhance data analysis in protected areas, and explore outdoor navigation applications to improve visitor-wildlife interaction. “By returning to the IUCN Green List, the Sierra Nevada Natural Area stands as a model of effective conservation, preserving unique deciduous forests and leveraging scientific knowledge through its Global Change Observatory,” said Thierry Lefebvre, IUCN Green List Programme Manager. “Continuing to have Sierra Nevada on the IUCN Green List is key for the #Mediterranean and its rich biodiversity, as it sets a concrete example in Andalusia and Spain of effective and equitable management for other protected areas, fostering a scenario of cooperation and knowledge exchange between Mediterranean countries.” said Maher Mahjoub, IUCN Med Director. “This recognition supports the international commitments of the Mediterranean, including the 30x30 objective, and strengthens the region's position as a leader in conservation and sustainability. We hope that future #collaboration with #Tech4Nature will help strengthen the effectiveness now also with new technologies.” 👉 https://bit.ly/3O4MycO #IUCNGreenList #ProtectedAreas #Conservation
