and the provision of incentives to loggers. A separate section of Guidelines addresses the issue of the 

 costs and benefits of adopting more biodiversity- friendly logging practices. lUCN and ITTO will now 

 collaborate to help timber companies and governments in the tropics to apply the Guidelines on the 

 ground. Training will be provided and these organizations hope to sponsor jjilot projects to help 

 motivated companies to improve biodiversity conservation in their forests. 



As climate changes and pressures for conversion of forests to industrial crops and biofuels increase the 

 need to manage our remaining forests to enable them to resist new pressures will increase. Retaining the 

 fullest possible range of species and genes will increase the chances that forests will be resilient to new 

 climates and other pressures. Biodiversity will therefore help ensure that forests continue to provide the 

 full range of environmental services and economic benefits that societies need.
