About Webinar #2
A brief introduction to the IUCN standard for Nature Based Solutions will be followed by three European projects that explore the potential of ecosystem services to improve the protection of Mediterranean forests’ biodiversity. With Teresa Baiges Zapater (Catalonian Government), Lucio Brotto (ETIFOR) and Gabriel Gutiérrez (Andalusian Government), we will explore successful and innovative examples about the potential of valuing ecosystem services. Gain insights on how to reach public and private partnerships and identify additional incentives to protect forests and provide supplementary support for forest managers.
