Presentations from SNSI and IUCN CSVPA will focus on the គោលការណ៍ណែនាំការអនុវត្តន៍ល្អបំផុតនៃអង្គការ IUCN-អង្គការយូណេស្កូ 16; “គេហទំព័រធម្មជាតិពិសិដ្ឋ: គោលការណ៍ណែនាំសម្រាប់ការគ្រប់គ្រងតំបន់ការពារ”. We assess the progress made with translation and implementation of the Guidelines with a view to up-scaling their use in the context of Aichi target 11. This is followed by examples of local sacred natural sites guardians in Australia and South Africa who use the Guidelines as a management and advocacy tool to curb threats stemming from mining and tourism. We also look at the formulation of community protocols in Ghana and Ethiopia as well as the development of custodian guidelines. Both local responses serve the protection of sacred natural sites and help reflect us on the need for social safeguards and local capacity building inclusive of the sacred natural sites guardians and local communities. There will be a general discussion to conclude.
