Time for Third Generation reforms in forest management ICIMOD’s Director General Dr David Molden’s Statement at the International Symposium on Transforming Mountain Forestry in Dehradun, India
The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) stands for mountains and people, and therefore we clearly understand the importance forestry plays in our work, and what it means for the livelihood of the people in the region. The many valuable ecosystem services provided by mountain forests, including climate stabilization, carbon sinks, protection of hydro-ecological functions and biodiversity conservation desperately need greater attention.
