The Centre for Communication and Sustainable Development for All (CECOSDA) has seized the opportunity of the IUCN Regional Nature Conservation Forum 2015 – PACO 2015 to exhibit its approach as partner of public, private sector and of civil society organizations for Sustainable Development Goals achievement. The exhibition stand is opened since the second day of the event, with many materials that shows the importance of communication in sustainable development issues. Among this are butterfly and animals sticker, used for the decoration of the stand, a snake, a turtle, an antelope, for exemple. On the table, a green apple with lighted bulbs and a fan running on symbolize a clean and sustainable consumption. Cameroon small flags decorate the stand.

Immediately the stand was set up, visitors started flowing in. By the end of the day, at least 100 visitors representing all countries participating members at the forum were registered.

 Visitors were mainly interested by the painted frame where every one can write a souvenir related to the environment protection. The participant’s attention is also directed to the IMD (Image-Message for Sustainable Development) as they are curious to know what is the message behind each item exposed in the stand. They all took time to fill the painting puzzle with a souvenir, the abbreviation of their organisation, the name of their country, and a word copied from legend provided by CECOSDA. Many have a snapeshot besides it.

Amongst the written materials exposed in the stand, the annual report attracted much attention as the cover exposed the relation between youths education and environment. This is one of the themes which preoccupied the IUCN Director General in her speech, that is, how can youths be trained to be able to take the relay in nature conservation in the future.
