SUBJECT: FOREST TRANSPARENCY WORKSHOP SHOWS OPPORTUNITIES 
 
1.  SUMMARY: USAID, U.S. Forest Service and State sponsored an 
Amazon Basin forest transparency workshop in Lima, September 19-22, 
2006.  Over 100 participants from governments, industry and NGOs 
found common ground in identifying solutions to improve forest 
governance. Firms and NGO's exhibited services and technologies that 
aid log tracking, forest certification and mapping of changes in 
forest cover in a novel "Market of Ideas." Bolivian and Peruvian 
community-based NGO's formed a plan to exchange best practices; USG, 
Tropical Forest Trust and other collaborators began planning for a 
new short training course for university faculty in Amazon forestry 
management programs. END SUMMARY. 
 
2. Over 100 participants from Amazon Basin countries and the U.S., 
Honduras, and Europe met in Lima, Peru from September 19-22, 2006 to 
explore techniques and approaches for increasing transparency in the 
forest sector. The workshop was implemented through a joint effort 
of State's OES Bureau and the Regional Environmental Hub in 
Brasilia, USAID, U.S. Forest Service International Programs and the 
International Wood Products Association (IWPA).  The workshop 
brought together multiple stakeholders including government, 
industry, local and indigenous community forestry groups, 
non-governmental organizations and other private sector interests. 
For many participants, this workshop presented the first opportunity 
to sit at the table and share experiences as equals with other 
stakeholders to forge common interests. 
 
3. Participants began by discussing the meaning of forest management 
transparency.  They collaboratively defined forest transparency as 
clear and open processes that require broad stakeholder involvement 
and clear rules of engagement to effectively govern management of 
forest resources.  Through presentations, panel discussions and 
break-out sessions, and a novel "Mercado de Ideas" or idea 
marketplace, participants exchanged information on ways to address 
governance in the forest sector. 
 
4. The key objectives achieved included broad stakeholder engagement 
on challenges and opportunities for increasing transparency, 
providing information on available tools, exchange of ideas and 
identification of concrete areas for further collaboration.  Some of 
the opportunities outlined included development of a supply of 
timber harvested under sound ecological practices and marketed to 
socially responsible companies; the availability of new technologies 
for maintaining chain of custody; and the chance to build local 
capacity in the countries to sustainably manage their resources. 
Presentations on CITES and trade agreements as they related to 
forest transparency elicited some lively discussion on how science 
and policy intersect. 
 
6. The "Mercado de Ideas" provided an opportunity to share 
approaches to increase forest transparency.  Fifteen exhibitors, 
including Helveta, Tropical Forest Trust, Global Witness, World 
Wildlife Fund, Winrock, World Resources Institute shared techniques 
they are implementing internationally to increase forest 
transparency, including satellite imagery, technologies used for log 
tracking, forest change detection, certification, and real-time 
information exchange. 
 
7. Chain-of-custody was a high priority for the participants.  There 
was wide agreement on the need for private industry -- loggers, 
buyers, exporters and importers -- to take a leadership role in 
chain-of-custody and other issues that relate to legal acquisition 
even when there is a sufficient regulatory regime.  Technological 
solutions displayed in the Idea Market showed how chain-of-custody 
solutions can also help both improve business efficiency and 
inventory species such as mahogany. 
 
8. As a result of the workshop, several collaborative efforts began 
to share best practices.  The BOLFOR II project (Bolivian 
community-based certification) implementers agreed to work with 
AIDER (a Peruvian NGO working with indigenous people engaged in 
forest management) to promote an exchange of experiences between 
Peruvian and Bolivian community forestry enterprises.  They will 
also collaborate to open new market channels by facilitating AIDER 
participation in ExpoForest 2007, a large forest products trade fair 
in Santa Cruz, Bolivia.  Another example involves the USG, Tropical 
Forest Trust and other collaborators, who have agreed to work 
together to design and sponsor a new short training course for 
faculty members of forestry management programs of the Amazon 
Region.
