Comment(s)

I am also a member of IUCN:

1.    World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA) and specialist group on World Heritage

2.    World Commission on Environmental Law (WCEL)

With my dual science (PhD in Marine Biology) and environmental law (LL.M. in International Environmental Law) qualifications and skills, my Science Diplomacy expertise focuses on international environmental law and MEAs, area-based management tools (ABMTs) such as marine protected areas (MPAs) and conserved areas (OECMs) for transboundary biodiversity conservation, natural resources management, Blue Economy, traditional knowledge and benefit-sharing in ensuring fair and equitable socio-economy outcomes for the marine and coastal communities. 
To achieve these, I peruse provisions in important multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs). 
These include UNCLOS and its IAs; CBD and its 2 protocols and recent K-M GBF including the famous Target 3 on 30x30; UNFCCC and PA, Ramsar, CMS, BBNJ, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, IMO and FAO rules and guidelines, etc.
