    The study addresses the importance of
    wildlife to people, and as a resource of nutritional,
    economic, and socio-cultural values, and examines the
    complexities of hunting in tropical forests. It also
    expresses that today, such hunting is rarely sustainable,
    because of declining forest areas, which decreases wildlife
    populations; because of changes among human populations in
    the tropical forests, who have increasingly become more

    In July 2001, the extractive industries
    review (EIR) was initiated with the appointment of Dr. Emil
    Salim, former Minister of the Environment for Indonesia, as
    eminent person to the review. The EIR was designed to engage
    all stakeholders-governments, nongovernmental organizations
    (NGOs), indigenous peoples' organizations, affected
    communities and community-based organizations, labor unions,
    industry, academia, international organizations, and the

    India

    India's environmental problems
    are deep-rooted and severe. Estimates of annual
    environmental damage range from 4.5 percent to 8 percent of
    gross domestic product (GDP), in line with annual economic
    growth. Since 1990 the World Bank has lent India 1.94
    billion dollars for 19 projects to mitigate environmental
    damage and another 97 million dollars was granted under
    global environmental facility (GEF) and Montreal protocol

    The aim of this study is to improve
    understanding of how biological resource conservation
    concerns can be better incorporated into projects and
    programs that primarily address the objective of rural
    development rather than environmental conservation. A
    multi-disciplinary study team was assembled and six
    background papers produced, along with the main overview
    paper. The six papers were on: 1) measuring biodiversity,

    This paper seeks to clarify how
    valuation should be conducted to answer specific
    environmental policy questions. In particular, it looks at
    how valuation should be used to examine four distinct
    aspects of the value of ecosystems: 1) Determining the value
    of the total flow of benefits from ecosystems; 2)
    Determining the net benefits of interventions that alter
    ecosystem conditions: 3) Examining how the costs and

    This paper provides a simple, yet
    robust, methodology for comparing proposed hydroelectric
    project sites in terms of their expected negative
    environmental impacts, and relating these to power
    generation benefits. The paper also summarizes the
    environmental mitigation options for large dams. If properly
    implemented, these mitigation measures can effectively
    prevent, minimize, or compensate for many (though not all)

    Guatemala

    This paper uses data from Guatemala to
    map areas that are important for the provision of indirect
    ecosystem services, services whose benefits are enjoyed at
    some distance from the ecosystem that provides them, such as
    watershed services (enjoyed downstream) or biodiversity
    conservation (enjoyed globally). These services are usually
    externalities from the perspective of land users, and so
    tend to be under-provided. Mapping the areas that supply

    The Petroleum Governance Initiative
    (PGI) encompasses three general themes, or pillars, that
    address issues issues of transparency and economic
    responsibility, environmental sustainability and responsible
    community development. Of particular interest here is the
    second pillar, environmental sustainability; the PGI is
    currently involved in four main activities surrounding this
    theme: 1) assessing environmental governance and management

    América Latina y el Caribe

    The Latin America and Caribbean Region
    has been at the forefront of global biodiversity
    conservation, dedicating 20 percent of its land to protected
    areas compared to 13 percent in the rest of the developing
    world. This progress has stretched available budgets for
    conservation with estimates indicating that a twofold
    increase would be necessary to achieve optimal management of
    existing protected areas based on 2008 data. Recognizing the

    Sustainable forest management (SFM)
    certification emerged in the 1980s and 1990s as a mechanism
    to promote responsible forest use and as an alternative to
    boycotts of forest products amid growing concerns about
    forest degradation and destruction. Since then, forest
    certification has evolved into a multifaceted market-based
    mechanism to promote compliance with sets of ecological,
    social, and economic criteria to enhance sustainability.
