 International day of forests is really a good opportunity to focus not just on the forests but on how forests and forestry contributes to our lives and livelihoods. We are bombarded with messages that are negative, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, illegal logging, emissions of greenhouse gases from the forests and I think today could be a day where we focus on positive messages. Forests contributes to income, food, energy to billions of people. They preserve biodiversity. They actually take up a lot of the greenhouse gases we are emitting to the atmosphere. Sea Forest Celebrating is 20 year anniversary and has contributed a lot to the debate on forests and livelihood issues, forests and governance, the issues of large scale land conversion to plantations and many other things. Sea Forest really made a lot of impact on the forest dialogue over the past 20 years. I think we've seen unprecedented attention to forests and forestry over the past half decade. A lot of it through the climate change negotiations. And we've seen unprecedented levels of finance and political attention. I think it's important that we maintain that but also that we broaden the perspective. Going forward I think it's really important that we see forests and forestry in context. We need to work together with agriculture at the landscape level to find the better sustainable solutions for the future. And we need to put forests and forestry as a part of and a contribution to economic development. We can't see the forest sector in isolation that will not give us the solutions we need for sustainable development.
