摘要：Under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the Parties and governments have committed
themselves to achieve a significant reduction of the current rate of biodiversity loss by 20102 (the
“2010 target’). As the Convention enters its implementation phase, involvement of different
stakeholders becomes critical. In doing so, effective communication between scientists and policy
makers is regarded as one of the key needs (Davey and Keenan, 2005). Furthermore, review of such
needs comes at a critical stage for the programme of work (PoW) on forest biological diversity, as the
in-depth review is scheduled for the ninth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the CBD (COP
9) in 2008. The in-depth review involves collecting information on the progress made on the
implementation of the PoW, barriers to the implementation of the PoW, and priorities for capacitybuilding
to address these barriers3. Given these requirements, the experiences of forest scientists and
policy makers are of high importance to the Convention.
