Message from the Director General

Come share with us the celebration of the fourth conference in the Henry A. Wallace Inter-American Scientific Conference Series and enjoy the natural beauty of the Turrialba valley in Costa Rica. This conference, dedicated to “Integrated Management of Environmental Services in Human-Dominated Tropical Landscapes” will be held in the Tropical Agricultural Research and Higher Education Center (CATIE).

The aim of the conference will be to analyze critical aspects of the integrated management of environmental services as well as their future markets. The conference will bring together authorities and scientists from all over the world to share their knowledge and experiences regarding these themes. The Minister of the Environment and Energy of Costa Rica will honor us with his presence and give an opening lecture during the inauguration dinner. Dr. Jeffrey Sayer, of WWF-International, will give the Keynote Speech.

We hope to be honored by your participation in this conference. Space is limited and we need a confirmation of your attendance.
