We are delighted to announce that the IPSI Secretariat will organize the Tenth Global Conference of the International Partnership for the Satoyama Initiative (IPSI-10) to be held in Riobamba, Ecuador, from 3 to 5 March 2026. During IPSI-10, we expect to adopt the Actionable Implementation Plan for the IPSI Strategy and Plan of Action 2023-2030, which was adopted at IPSI-9 held in Akita, Japan in 2023. We hope to discuss how IPSI and its members can work collaboratively towards achieving our Strategic Objectives at this critical time. We will also have opportunities to discuss among IPSI members, including a Public Forum and Study Tours to experience and learn about the landscapes and culture of the area.
