/R E P E A T -- Media Invitation - Signing of a Declaration on Biosphere Ethics/

A vision shared between Montréal, Quebec City and Paris

MONTRÉAL, Dec. 4, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - Media representatives are invited to a tremendous first: the signing of a Declaration on Biosphere Ethics by official representatives of the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle in Paris, the Musées de la civilisation in Quebec City and Montréal Space for Life.

The signing of the Declaration is the culmination of productive meetings and constructive workshops over the space of two years, leading to a consensus on the values and principles that will guide the signatories' actions. This process is also in line with the Biosphere Ethics Initiative, launched in 2010 by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

The event will be an excellent opportunity for interviews and photos with the official spokespeople attending:

Thomas Grenon
Executive Director, Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris

Michel Côté
Executive Director, Musées de la civilisation, Quebec City

Charles-Mathieu Brunelle
Director, Montréal Space for Life

Manon Gauthier
Montréal Executive Committee member responsible for culture, heritage, design, Space for Life and the status of women

Wednesday, December 10, 11 a.m.
