First Regional Dialogue on Forests and Biodiversity Conservation
October 19-21, 2005 - Teresopolis, Brazil

TFD hosted the first Regional Dialogue on Forest and Biodiversity Conservation, specifically focusing on the Atlantic Forests of Brazil. TFD co-sponsored the meeting with three Brazilian organizations: Instituto BioAtlntica, The Nature Conservancy do Brasil and Conservation International do Brasil. The meeting brought together for the first time key leaders to develop a more closely aligned vision between leading forestry companies and conservationists. Participants agreed on concrete actions to increase the scale of conservation efforts while delivering value to participating forestry companies. Future meetings will look to expand NGO-private sector partnerships and collaborations to conserve the Atlantic Forest.
