INTEGRATED Solutions FOR global bioRESOURCES MANAGEMENT


An approximate 60 percent of the ecosystem services that support life on Earth – such as production of wood for firewood and shelter, soil fertility, watershed protection or biosphere resilience – are fragile or degraded (UN Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, 2005).
