23 regional and global forestry experts came together from May 3rd – 4th, 2012 to attend a workshop in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, co-organized by the USAID-funded Lowering Emissions in Asia’s Forests (LEAF) program and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) on “Reduced Impact Logging: Challenges, Opportunities and Strategies in the Emerging Forest Carbon Economy.”

 
The event gathered government officials from the Indonesian, Fijian, Papua New Guinean and Malaysian forestry departments, participants from international forestry organizations, faculty from several universities from around the world, and representatives from the UN-REDD program and USAID to review the current status of Reduced Impact Logging (RIL) implementation in Asia, and to discuss challenges and opportunities in improving the sustainable management of production forests for climate change mitigation.
