Feature Stories

For the IWC5, the organizers launched a new effort to harness more content from the IWC5. To that end, a list of topics on concerns or issues being addressed by subsets of the GEF IW portfolio were chosen. Interviews were conducted with participants on site in Cairns and press releases prepared for distribution. Then those two elements were combined and edited into short information dissemination tools, called YouTube feature stories.
