La semana pasado CONDESAN estuvo presentando nuestra experiencia, vinculada a los mecanismos para compartir beneficios en cuencas hidrográficas, a través de una presentación a cargo de Bert De Bievre, Coordinador del Área de Cuencas Andinas, en el Seminario Taller Internacional de Cultura del Agua organizado por la Secretaría del Agua del Ecuador; a través de la Dirección Nacional de Cultura y en coordinación con la Red Latinoamericana de Centros del Conocimiento en Gestión de Recursos Hídricos (RALCEA).

This paper examines poverty and deforestation in developing countries as linked problems and focuses on policies that can favour poverty alleviation in forested regions. The paper encompasses two elements: analysis of the spatial coincidence between poverty and forests, and proposed policy options for reducing poverty in forested areas.
