IUCN CEC #NatureForAll is at the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP17) in Yerevan, Armenia, joining a global community of governments, organisations, experts, Indigenous Peoples, youth and civil society working towards a future where people and nature thrive together.

At the heart of our presence is a simple belief: “people protect what they know, value and love.”

Through #NatureForAll, we bring the human side of biodiversity into the global conversation — connecting people with nature through culture, creativity, education, storytelling and shared experiences. Because protecting biodiversity is not only about policies and targets; it is also about building a deeper relationship between people and the living world around us.

At COP17, we are connecting voices, sharing ideas and celebrating approaches that make nature more accessible, meaningful and relevant to everyone — inspiring more people to discover nature, care for it and become part of its future.
