Wilderness Values in Antarctica

Researchers at North Carolina State University (US) as part of the PT-REPAIR project would like to invite you to an upcoming workshop on wilderness values in Antarctica. We encourage operators, guides, scientists, logistics coordinators, gateway community members, NGOs and anyone else who works in or studies Antarctica to participate. We are seeking diverse perspectives, so the more industries represented the better!

Overarching questions for the workshop:
1. How is Antarctic wilderness described by different stakeholders?
2. What are the most important characteristics that represent the wilderness value of Antarctica, and what are the threats to these characteristics?
3. What could be used as measurable indicators for monitoring the identified wilderness characteristics?

The workshop will be on Tuesday, 23 September and there will be two 90-minutes sessions to accommodate for different time zones; please only sign up for ONE session (they will be the exact same agenda).

Thank you very much and hope to see you there!
