Fred M. Packard Award Explained
The IUCN WCPA Fred M. Packard Award is an international merit award which is made by the International Union for Conservation of Natureto individuals or groups in recognition of "outstanding service to protected and conserved areas" across the globe.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] The award is named for the individual who served as the Secretary to the World Commission on Protected Areas in the early 1970s. Packard initially established the award in recognition of the "valour" of field wardens fighting and at times losing their lives to poachers in the course of conservation work, mostly in the developing world. At the third World National Parks Congress in Bali, 1982 the award was expanded to include people and organisations who have "contributed to protected areas far above and beyond the call of duty".[6]
