ENHANCING NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES AMONG MODEL FORESTS

摘要

More than 30 participants took part in a regional meeting in Lin'an City, China, to review the status of model forest development and discuss opportunities for enhancing networking among model forests in the region. The meeting, which was held 21-23 September 2004, was organized by the International Model Forest Network Secretariat (IMRNS), FAO, and the Chinese Academy of Forestry (CAF). Participants included representatives from seven model forests in Asia, the Samar Island (Philippines) Biodiversity Project, and supporting international organizations (IMFNS, FAO, IDRC, and Venture for Fund Raising). A regional workshop on strategic and operational work planning was organized prior to the network meeting for selected participants.
