Assessment of ecosystem services of tropical forests in Guatemala

Legal basis and dialogue with civil society

The project promotes a coherent policy to assess the ecosystem services of tropical forests in Guatemala. The project will thereby make a contribution to sustainable forest management.

The project helps to develop a suitable legal basis. To this end, experience is being gathered in areas in which forests are seriously at risk of being overexploited or affected by social conflicts. An important component of the project is the promotion of dialogue between civil society, the state and the private sector.
