How can communities govern their lands in the present and preserve it for future generations? We will hear about two entirely different examples of community-led protected areas. One is the Salween Peace Park created by the Karen Indigenous people who live in an autonomous area within the national state of Myanmar, the other the Tarras Valley Nature Reserve in Scotland.
