In a meeting held from 30 January to 1 February 2006, in Paris, France, the UNESCO World Heritage Centre considered actions to support implementation of the CBD work programme on protected areas in natural World Heritage sites.

Deliberations resulted in the identification of concrete activities under six broad headings to be followed up in the short, medium and longer term: contributing to the implementation of the work programme elements in World Heritage sites; supporting the implementation of the World Heritage Convention; supporting the World Heritage Centre in providing training and capacity-building opportunities to World Heritage site stakeholders; information exchange; developing large scale initiatives suitable for external financing; and reporting to the World Heritage Centre and the CBD Secretariat.
