Betreff: International Forum on Payments for Environmental Services of Tropical Forests, 7-10 April 2014, San José, Costa Rica
Message sent on behalf of Eva Muller, Director, Forest Economics, Policy and Products Division, FAO
Dear colleagues,
I am writing to inform you that FAO, ITTO and the Government of Costa Rica, will jointly convene an International Forum on Payments for Environmental Services of Tropical Forests in San José, Costa Rica, from 7-10 April 2014.
Ensuring sustainable supplies of goods and services from forests to enhance their vital contributions to socio-economic development lies at the core of Sustainable Forest Management (SFM). Yet, SFM in the tropics is often less profitable than other land-uses because many of the goods and services forests produce lack formal markets. Payments for forest environmental services (PES), such as biodiversity, tourism and recreation, water conservation, soil protection and climate change mitigation, is regarded as one such innovative means of financing SFM.
The International Forum aims to highlight the importance of developing and implementing PES mechanisms in tropical countries and to share best practices and lessons learned from the many activities and projects that have been undertaken in recent years to scale up global efforts to promote PES. The Forum is expected to recommend actions at local, national and international levels for the development and effective implementation of PES mechanisms in support of SFM in the tropics. It will bring together policymakers, researchers and academicians, practitioners, civil society, the private sector, and regional and international organizations engaged in the development, implementation and support of PES mechanisms.
On behalf of the organizers, I would like to invite you or your representative to attend the International Forum on Payments for Environmental Services of Tropical Forests. More details including a concept note, and registration form are available on FAO (http://www.fao.org/forestry/84884/en/) and ITTO (www.itto.int) websites. A preliminary programme will be made available shortly. Sponsorship is available for a limited number of participants from developing countries to attend the Forum. Those in need of sponsorship are required to fill in the respective section of the on-line registration form. Participants to be sponsored will be selected by the organizers based on the information provided as well as ensuring a geographical and gender balance.
Yours sincerely,
Eva Muller

Dear stakeholder in ?forest ecosystems?
5 minutes - 7 questions
Provide your view on forest ecosystem visions and ecosystem services.
We would be very grateful if you or someone from your organization could
spend 5 minutes answering 7 questions related to ?Ecosystem visions?
within forestry and ecosystem services from forests.
The questions can be accessed at this link: -
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/5JXS2ZP
We are an EU-ESFRI preparation project ANAEE (www.anaee.com) working to
prepare a common experimental research infrastructure in terrestrial and
aquatic ecosystems Europe to investigate impacts and responses of
ecosystems to environmental changes and pressures.
Such an infrastructure will include facilities of relevance to forest
ecosystems.
In order to guide the way we plan such an infrastructure, it will be very
helpful to know how different stakeholders related to forest ecosystems:
view the threats to forest ecosystem services
the potential support which could be obtained from experimental research.
We believe that you or your organization can provide an important input to
our work and would be very grateful for your contribution.
Thank you in advance
On behalf of ANAEE
