This first conference will gather
about twenty-five Jordanian and international invited speakers to give
presentations on the state of scientific knowledge about the natural
environment, the human presence, and issues of management and conservation with
a focus on the Wadi Rum Protected Area and its region.
The conference will also propose a
strategy for future documentation and research, and offer recommendations to the
relevant authorities in matters of management and monitoring of the natural and
cultural assets of Wadi Rum in the context of tourism development.
