WWViews on Biodiversity
On Saturday September 15th 2012, thousands of people around the world will take part in a global event: “World Wide Views on Biodiversity”. The project will engage ordinary citizens in as many countries as possible in the process of policymaking and awareness raising to sustain a living and healthy planet. At least a hundred citizens in each participating country will attend day-long meetings to learn about biodiversity issues, make up their minds about them, and express their views. The meetings will start at dawn in the Pacific and continue until dusk in the Americas. All meetings will have the same agenda and use the same approach in order to make results comparable and useful for policymakers gathering the following month in India to discuss future policy measures for preserving biological diversity.

Recruitment strategy

How were potential participants found?
An invitation was developed and signed by the different partners for the event, including the selection criteria to be part of the consultation. Through a network of NGOs, part of the Dominican Environmental Consortium (CAD), the invitation was spread at the community level. Parallel to that, it was published at Funglode and Impulsar web portals. Those who did sent their interest were selected based on the criteria. Ever since the main population lives in the cities, we put an emphasis on the Metropolitan area, and then selected representatives from the North, East, and West areas, with a focus group method. We reserved several spots for representatives from the border between the Dominican Republic and Haiti, as well for Haitians living in the DR. Although at the event, we received more youngsters than expected and a storm had hit the country, the event was carried out smoothly.
