Тема: International Year of Caves and Karst: Important monthly Partners update!!
 

Dear International Year of Caves and Karst Partners,

 

One week from today, 13 September 2021, UNESCO will celebrate the International Year with us at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris. Many governmental ambassadors and influential people will be at the meeting in Paris and will join us by Zoom. These are people who have the power to make changes in UNESCO and their countries around the world to improve our ability to “Explore, Understand, and Protect” caves and karst. Change will not happen immediately. Changes are slow to happen with governments. But this is the biggest opportunity in history to advance worldwide governmental appreciation of caves and karst!

 

I wrote to you last month and invited you to join by Zoom. Those who replied and confirmed they would be on Zoom, you will receive your Zoom address directly from UNESCO (you may have already received it). Please remember that this address is only for you. It must not be shared with your organizations because UNESCO has limited space on their Zoom. I encourage all of you on Zoom to listen to the presentations and think about asking questions in the chat that are not answered by the presentations. Your questions should be designed to raise awareness of other important things about caves and karst that the governmental ambassadors need to know. Someone from UNESCO will select the questions that will be asked.

 

For everyone, you can watch the celebration live on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzSiErLj5x6viNbvAdehDvA from 10:00-13:00 Paris time. You will also find it recorded to watch later at that site since many of you will normally be sleeping at that time. Please share this YouTube address with your members! It is important that as many people as possible watch it to impress UNESCO with our interest and commitment to caves and karst.

 

While UNESCO seems far from many people, as the global organization of governments for education, science, and cultural, its celebration of the International Year gives you strength to prove in your area, to your lawmakers, to your supporters, to your public, that caves and karst are truly important.

 

Thank you for you support. As always, please continue to organize event and activities for the International Year and to send them to the International Year website.

 

George
