World Bank - World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Alliance For Forest Conservation and Sustainable Use annual report : 1999
Bleakley, Chris | Kelleher, Graeme | Wells, Sue
The World Bank and the World Wildlife Fund's (WWF) Alliance for Forest Conservation and Sustainable Use was established in 1998 in response to the continued depletion of the world's forest biodiversity, and of forest-based goods and services essential for sustainable development. This annual report summarized the activities of the Alliance during its first full year of operation. The Alliance is helping countries to create 50 million hectares of new protected areas of forest. It is also ensuring that a similar amount of existing protected areas come under effective management by 2005. In the same time-frame the Alliance also aims to have 200 million hectares of the world's production forests under independently certified sustainable management. As the Bank and WWF forge a closer relationship, both realize that the Alliance will only be as strong as the partnerships it forms with other non-governmental organizations, development institutions, the private sector, and governments.
