• ECOSMAG Synthesis Meeting, February 25-26 2010, Yokohama, Japan

  With primary funding from Asia-Pacific Network for Global Change Research (APN), Ecosystem Services Management in Asia (ECOSMAG) was established to improve the understanding of the impacts of land management on ecosystem services provided by upper tributary watersheds. This synthesis meeting deliberated research findings to date, shared concrete results on ECOSMAG and related activities in Asia and discussed outstanding research implementation challenges. The meeting was organised by the GLP Sapporo Nodal Office and ECOSMAG is endorsed by GLP.
