The EPHA member organisation Inter-Environnement Wallonie celebrated its 30th birthday last saturday (19 Feb 2005).
This association has recently been working on protecting and improving biodiversity at regional level. IEW does not only focus on environment governmental structures, but rather on a transectorial frame, calling to enhance biodiversity as a priority in all Ministerial policies.
On Saturday, celebrations in Namur (Belgium) included a conference on economic growth. Amongst speakers were the Minister of Economics of Wallonie Region (Jean-Claude Marcourt), Denis Lambert from Oxfam and Geoffroy de Schutter from WWF Belgium.
