Тема: Support for UIS Proposal of UNESCO Day of Caves and Karst
Dear supporters of the IYCK 2021 and colleagues,
Please forgive me for possibly cross-posting, as we have already sent the request to many international, regional, and national organizations as well as UIS member delegates (in June 2024).
Following the success of the UIS International Year of Caves and Karst Areas 2021, the International Union of Speleology (UIS) is actively working to establish September 13 as UNESCO Day of Caves and Karst (IDCK). Please find attached the UIS request letter, the draft proposal, and the letter of support from the IUCN Working Group on Caves and Karst.
Why September 13th? On this day in 2021, caves and karst were presented to UNESCO for the first time (although the UIS was founded on September 16), because there is no other international day on this date, because no nationality is favored, and
because the UNESCO representative likes the idea.
It does not matter if your country or region already celebrates a day other than the International Day of Caves and Karst proposed here, what matters is that the public is informed about caves and karst as often as possible.
I hope that we will all take this opportunity to give caves and karst the recognition they deserve.
The UIS has already received official support from many international organizations (see below) and expects more. We have also received positive feedback from UNESCO headquarters in Paris.
On behalf of UIS, I sincerely ask for your (organisation, institution) support by sending a letter of support to UIS!
With kind regards, Nadja
