The most recent IUCN World Conservation Congress was conducted in Honolulu, Hawaii September 1 - 10, 2016. Held every four years, it brings together several thousand leaders and decision-makers from government, civil society, indigenous peoples, business, and academia, with the goal of conserving the environment and harnessing the solutions nature offers to global challenges.
