Why this workshop? • First, let’s get back to 8 December 2005; the National Symposium • Some key findings concern: • Main bottlenecks (selection) • Communication differences between the various actors. Different types of actors (e.g. bankers and conservationists) use different languages and have different mind sets. • Main opportunities (selection) • There is a certain momentum in society and awareness is increasing within the private sector. • Ecosystem valuation and financing can create new markets and market incentives for investment. Investment in nature has spin-off; it creates jobs; it is good for the reputation of companies (brand management) and; it creates the feeling of well-being for consumers. • Main key issues to follow-up on (selection) • Network building for e.g. the creation of platforms for exchange of knowledge and communication.
