Social Media Update

The World Wilderness Congress is an ongoing process- each WWC is connected and builds from the previous. We are in the process of closing down our WILD10 Spanish Facebook page and migrating our fans to our main WILD10 page. We'll soon be re-branding our WILD10 page to a general World Wilderness Congress to ensure that each and every one of our followers stays informed of upcoming WWC news. Please be sure to "like" our Facebook page!

We've also changed our Twitter handle to @wild_wwc. Follow us!

Information, Inspiration & Action for a Wilder World

WILD10 Staff & Volunteers © Fatima Andrade

The WILD10 action continues...since delegates and online participants convened in Salamanca in October, our team of staff & volunteers has been working day and night to bring you our newly updated informational website. We've turned the wild10.org website from a logistical hub to an information archive and action site. The numerous initiatives launched at WILD10 are now rolling out, and the resolutions are at work in many countries. There's been an incredible surge of images, videos, presentations, stories and more coming from WILD10 attendees. We want to share everything with you, put tools in your hands, and keep the enthusiasm strong and focused.

Outcomes

Over 1,000 delegates from more than 65 nations filled the medieval city center of Salamanca to explore, debate, connect and forge partnerships and implement targeted actions to value and protect wild nature around the world, and protect its benefits for human society. Approximately 25,000 others from 85 nations participated online through our live streaming and interactive features. Many new initiatives developed as part of the WILD10 collaborative planning process were officially launched throughout the congress. Here are just a few of the outcomes from the 10th World Wilderness Congress:

Resolutions are a significant part of WILD10's call-to-action; the Resolutions Committee went through all submitted documents and approved 33 final resolutions.
