MANY FAIL CBD
Document Tittle: Monitoring Forest Biodiversity in Nepal: A consultative Report from Knowledge-based forest Institutions. Authors: P. Yonzon, N. Paudel, B. Bhattarai, I. Karki, S. Dhungana, H. Luintel, and N. Dahal.
Governments prioritize forest exploitation and many governments fail to comply with CBD mandate. The Global Forest Coalition released a major report, "Forests and the Biodiversity Convention" at the Convention on Biological Diversity in Bonn on May 20, 2008. This report contains the summaries and research undertaken in 22 countries by independent country monitors to examine whether or not Parties are implementing the decisions made through the CBD Programme of Work (POW) of Forest Biological Diversity. The Chairperson of the Global Forest Coalition, Dr. Miguel Lovera said, "Even though isolated actions have been taken by some governments, they fall short of complying with the CBD/POW which mandates that forests be regarded as ecosystems and not as mere resources."
