IUCN/WCPA Protected Areas Program: Making Space for People and Biodiversity in the Anthropocene - Earth Stewardship: Linking Ecology and Ethics in Theory and Practice - page 329

Recently the IUCN-World Commission on Protected Areas and the IUCN-Global
Protected Areas Program has been moving toward a vision parallel and complemen-
tary to the proposed Earth Stewardship initiative of the Ecological Society of
America. This novel view of IUCN is also called “The Promise of Sydney” because
it will be the focus of the 2014 World Parks Congress in Australia. ICUN's novel
view suggests that protected areas are an effective way to put Earth stewardship
into action.
