We are excited to be sponsoring our long-time partners Women for Conservation to attend the event and promote family planning as an important aspect when it comes to protecting biodiversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sixteenth meeting of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cop16colombia.com\/es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity<\/a> (COP16) is taking place from 21<sup> <\/sup>of October to 1<sup> <\/sup>November 2024. COP16 will be the first Biodiversity COP since the adoption of the Kunming-Montreal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbd.int\/gbf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Global Biodiversity Framework<\/a> in 2022. That led to the breakthrough <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.org\/en-us\/what-we-do\/our-priorities\/protect-water-and-land\/land-and-water-stories\/committing-to-30x30\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201c30 by 30\u201d target<\/a> \u2013 aiming for 30 percent of the world\u2019s land and oceans to be conserved by the end of this decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At COP16, governments will be tasked with reviewing their commitments to the Global Biodiversity Framework and assess whether high-income countries have fulfilled their commitments to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.france24.com\/en\/live-news\/20241007-un-biodiversity-summit-in-colombia-aims-to-turn-words-into-action\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">collectively fund $30 billion a year to support the Global South in its efforts to save precious ecosystems.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s fitting that COP16 is taking place in Colombia, a country rich in biodiversity, hosting close to 10% of the planet\u2019s biodiversity. This year we are sponsoring our long-time partners <a href=\"https:\/\/womenforconservation.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Women for Conservation<\/a>, who are based in Colombia, to attend COP16 on our behalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Women for Conservation bring a wealth of experience in <a href=\"https:\/\/populationmatters.org\/news\/2024\/04\/what-is-population-health-environment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PHE<\/a>, a holistic approach to environmental conservation that includes family planning and sustainable development.

They work closely with indigenous communities and focus on empowering female leaders to manage their projects. Their name reflects their vision of a world in which women are integral to the preservation of nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Women for Conservation was founded by Sara In\u00e9s Lara, in honour of her mother, Amparo. Amparo had dedicated her life to the empowerment of rural women in Cauca, Colombia. Her image is enshrined in Women for Conservation\u2019s logo. Now Sara\u2019s daughter, Isabella Cortes Lara, has been appointed executive director of the organisation, continuing a legacy of three generations of women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/populationmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Women-for-Conservation-logo_0.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4634\" srcset=\"https:\/\/populationmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Women-for-Conservation-logo_0.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/populationmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Women-for-Conservation-logo_0-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/populationmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Women-for-Conservation-logo_0-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Women for Conservation programs are designed around environmental education to raise awareness about endangered species and their habitats, in collaboration with local mothers and their children. They also work with the local community to provide fuel-efficient stoves to families, replacing the need for firewood and preventing deforestation in the area. They have also launched reproductive health programs and workshops that taught sexual education and distributed safe, modern contraceptives to local women, providing them with access to family planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Women for Conservation works collaboratively with bird conservation organisation Fundacion ProAves Colombia,&nbsp;organising&nbsp;meetings with communities in inaccessible areas to further conservation efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Population Matters has previously sponsored <a href=\"https:\/\/populationmatters.org\/women-for-conservation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Women for Conservation through our Empower to Plan program<\/a> in 2021, and we are pleased to have continued the relationship by appointing their Executive Director, Isabella, as one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/populationmatters.org\/our-choice-ambassadors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Choice Ambassadors.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"384\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/populationmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/WfC-workshop.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/populationmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/WfC-workshop.jpeg 384w, https:\/\/populationmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/WfC-workshop-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A Women for Conservation Workshop<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Promote PHE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Through their incredible work, Women for Conservation highlights the importance and interconnectedness of nature conservation, sustainable livelihoods and voluntary access to birth control and family planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Women for Conservation\u2019s integrated and holistic approach to family planning and conservation, closely aligns with the principles of <a href=\"https:\/\/populationmatters.org\/news\/2024\/04\/what-is-population-health-environment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Population Health Environment (PHE).<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PHE has been proven to be one of the most effective approaches to biodiversity conservation as it addresses both the needs of the community, and reduces population pressure on natural resources, whilst improving community support for conservation of local biodiversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it\u2019s with this extensive experience that we are pleased to sponsor Women for Conservation to attend COP16 to promote their expertise in the PHE approach and why family planning is important to include in biodiversity conservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The integrated approach of PHE has been gaining traction with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), with references to family planning included in their <a href=\"https:\/\/portals.iucn.org\/library\/sites\/library\/files\/documents\/2023-029-En.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Global Species Action Plan<\/a> to help guide policymakers\u2019 strategies to implement the Global Biodiversity Framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, PHE is not officially recognised on the Global Biodiversity Framework itself, and many environmental conservation organisations remain reluctant to engage with the PHE approach or incorporate family planning into their work. It\u2019s our aim for the Women for Conservation team to familiarise other stakeholders attending COP16 of the benefits of the PHE approach and help move the needle to a wider adoption of PHE in the conservation space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1151\" height=\"1021\"
