Meeting
Eighth Ordinary Meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP 8)

FFI has, in recent years, been addressing the question of how to link its conservation work more closely with the poverty reduction agenda. This meeting will report on the opportunities and challenges of this work, at both project and policy level. The topics include: the imperative for conservation-livelihood interventions: the example of Central America dry forest; plus CITES and livelihoods and the precautionary principle in conservation.
