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

Dear International Year of Caves and Karst Partners and Friends,

My last update was three weeks late because I was at the International Congress of Speleology. To return to my regular schedule of monthly messages, and because only two weeks have passed, I don’t have much news this time except for two things:

During these past two weeks, we have added 15 events to our list of completed International Year events! That means we only need 15 more events to reach our goal of at least 730 events to have an average of at least one event for each day of the two-year International Year period. This year I have spoken with many people who know little about caves and karst about the International Year. Each time I have told them that we have organized 400, then 500, then 600, and now over 700 events, is see the look of amazement on their faces and a new appreciation for caves and karst. That is all because of you. One event at a time, you have increased our numbers to these impressive levels. Thank you.

In one month, the International Show Caves Association Congress will be in San Antonio, Texas, USA. This is another major International Year event where show cave managers from around the world will be reminded and encouraged to continue educating millions of tourists about these critically valuable underground spaces and the surface environments that support them. If you are not registered for the congress and think you can attend, visit https://caves.swoogo.com/congress22 for more information.

As always, remember to please continue organizing events through the end of the year and send your event results to our fabulous website manager, Jasmina Rijavec (), in the simple format you see on the website:

Remember, while I am no longer the President of the International Union of Speleology (UIS), I have been asked to continue coordinating the International Year for the UIS. If you have any questions or needs regarding the International Year, contact me at any time.

Thank you for your great support in making the International Year of Caves and Karst a success!

George
