Investing in Biodiversity Conservation: Workshop Proceedings
(12/98, ENV-111, En, Es)
This document presents the proceedings of a one-day Workshop on Investing in Biodiversity Conservation held at the Inter-American Development Bank in Washington, D.C., on October 28, 1996.
The purpose of the workshop was to assess the comparative advantage of the IDB in financing biodiversity conservation and to analyze the cross-sectoral role of biodiversity conservation. The first part of the workshop was dedicated to the presentation of key topics on biodiversity financing by five leaders in the field. The papers are reprinted in their entirety in this document.
The second part of the workshop was dedicated to a discussion and exchange of ideas on the role of the IDB in investing in biodiversity conservation. During the discussions, the participants agreed that the Bank, for several reasons, is uniquely positioned to play a significant role in biodiversity conservation in Latin America and the Caribbean.
