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.
