Ambition to Action: Key actions for boards
New leadership must be developed. Collaborative thinking is needed. It is urgent to act in a collective way including all stakeholders, especially in indigenous communities that are the guardians of biodiversity. Agreements must be respected, or the cost of not acting collectively will impact the region. The board needs to set up an ethical foundation integrating public policies to develop accountability. Tourists and board members must both acknowledge the impact of their consumption habits.
