Library

The library includes publications of interest, many written by scholars and practitioners associated with the Dana Declaration.

Films are also available to view. Rum Business was commissioned by the Dana Declaration Standing Committee and River Nomads, was donated to the Commission by practitioners interested in the work of the Standing Committee and Parties to the Declaration.

The websites listed in this library include organizations and associations committed to conservation, sustainable development and the rights of mobile people around the world. The Standing Committee is always interested in expanding its resources and library.
