Ak 2008 at IUCNs 4th World Conservation Congress in Barcelona Spain a motion on the conservation of sacred natural sites was proposed under the coordination of the IUCN Specialist group on Cultural and Spiritual Values of protected Areas. The motion was adopted with 99% support from all NGOs and 97% support from all government parties present at the conference and turned into a resolution. The resolution now supports and mandates those working in conservation to act on the conservation of sacred natural sites.
