#These are activities being undertaken by learning group members:
- Poverty Indicators for Protected Areas
The Secretariat of the Poverty and Conservation Learning Group and the UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC) are working together to review of existing methodologies and indicators that can be used to assess the impacts of protected areas on poverty. A draft report has been compiled which details all the methodologies of which we are aware - we would value your comments and additions to this - please contact pclg@iied.org.
A workshop was held at WCMC in February 2007 and a follow up event is planned for September 2007 to which PCLG members will be invited. The workshop report and presentations are all available here.

- WCPA Task Force on Protected Areas and Equity
Following on from a side event held at CBD COP8 in March 2005, the PCLG Secretariat has worked with Care International, TILCEPA and the World Commission on Protected Areas to develop the framework for a new WCPA Task Force on Protected Areas and Equity which will have a particular emphasis on promoting social equity provisions within the CBD Programme of Work on Protected Areas. Ongoing support will be provided to the Task Force for regional and global meetings, information synthesis and dissemination.
A meeting of the African regional taskforce was held in Uganda in January 2007 and a workplan developed which you can download here. Meetings of the Asia group and the Latin America group will be held in June 2007 and September 2007 respectively. Please contact Phil Franks at Care International for more information about these meetings (phil@ci.co.ke).
