NOAA's data visualization technology stole the show at the World Conservation Congress.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature offsite link (IUCN) held their World Conservation Congress offsite link (WCC) for the first time in the United States in Honolulu, Hawaii in September 2016. Held once every four years, the IUCN WCC brings together leaders and decision-makers with the goal of conserving the environment and finding nature-based solutions to these global challenges. The theme for 2016 was a 'planet at the crossroads.'
