Hi all,
As Ivo doesn't seem to be on the list, could any
of you responding to this request also cc myself,
and I'll compile the responses for the group? I'm
also interested in this particular subject, and
already have a few items to put on the list.
Many thanks,
-Charlie

initiatives and I thought some of you might have
some feedback about it.
If you do, please respond DIRECTLY to Ivo, via the email address below.

DearĀ
I have a question you may be able to help me
with. I am a member of the Board of a charitable
foundation. The foundation is considering the
donation of a sizeable amount of money to an
institution that works on preservation of the
Amazone rain forest in Brazil. They do this
through a variety of sustainability instruments.
In order to verify whether we are doing the
right things with our money, we are looking for
some studies that give more insight in the
possible preservation instruments that can be
used and their impact vis-a-vis their costs. Is
one of the Trust fellows knowledgeable in this
area or do you have another lead that can help
us? We are looking for some objective benchmarks.
Many thanks, best regards,
- Ivo
