The IUCN Congress experience wouldn’t be complete without exploring the surroundings of the venue. This is why the Host Country is giving participants the chance to go on one-day-long ecological excursions – free of charge – on 13 September.
A limited number of two-day excursions around Korea can also be enjoyed at a great discount after the Forum (12-13 September) and after the Congress (16-17 September).
