New publication on parks and COVIDFriends:
Attached is a new publication on the WTO web page a number of us in the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas co-authored. A more extensive article on the same subject will be coming out in the journal Parks soon:

Ways to help people decide on field work or what to do when stranded because of cancelled flights, closed borders, etc.
Hi all, Could I perhaps ask you to introduce yourselves by mentioning where in the world you are right now, what the situation is there and whether you had plans to go elsewhere (e.g. for field work or to return home)? Also, please add any thoughts on what helped you or prevented you from continuing with your plans. I am currently gathering advice for people who have to make these decisions still (e.g. MSc students) - so any of your thoughts can really make a difference to someone else at this stage. Many thanks for your time and hope you are all well and safe!Best,Thirza
