ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Grateful thanks are extended to Tom McShane (Co-ordinator of the DGIS-WWF Tropical Forest Portfolio) who kindly offered to facilitate this workshop, and helped us to maintain our focus over the three days, to produce the results described in this report. Thanks are also due to Tom, Willem Ferwerda (IUCN-NL), Bill Jackson (IUCN), Glyn Davies, John Hudson and Diana Webster (DFID) and Jean-Paul Jeanrenaud (WWF) and their organisations, who provided funding support for the attendance of participants and general workshop costs. Without their support the workshop and the clear direction for further work it produced would not have been possible.
