The TMCF Initiative
was formed in 1999 to increase recognition and resources for cloud forest
conservation around the world, emphasising their role in providing fresh
water.
The Initiative founding
partner organisations are IUCN, WWF, WCMC and the UNESCO International Hydrological
Programme.
Its objectives are:
- build and strengthen networks of TMCF conservation and research organisations
in Africa, Latin America, Asia-Pacific and globally;
- produce information products for awareness raising for TMCF conservation
- their status, value, threats to them, and conservation lessons learnt;
- produce strategies for TMCF conservation within national and international
development and environment plans.
The Initiative
builds on the preliminary database and directory of TMCF sites compiled
by WCMC and the conclusions of the International
TMCF Planning and Advisory Workshop.
The TMCF Intitiative is seeking
partners and funding to organise regional TMCF conservation planning workshops
and to build an on-line TMCF sites and projects database.
