ACknoWLeDgeMents ADB and WWF signed a Memorandum of Understanding in 2001 to help countries in the Asia and Pacific region make a transition to environmentally sustainable growth. Since then we have broadened and deepened our collaboration through a growing number of high profile and critically needed environment and natural resource management initiatives across the region. This report is one of the latest joint products under the ADB and WWF partnership. We are very grateful to members of our joint ADB/WWF team who helped coordinate the preparation of the report and provided significant inputs: WWF: Tariq Aziz, Thuy Trang Dang, Jacques Ferreira, Marc Goichot, Monique Grooten, Kyle Hemes, Jose Ingles, Richard Leck, Paolo Mangahas, Geoffrey Muldoon, Anna van Paddenburg, Lida Pet-Soede, Keith Symington, Gokaran Jung Thapa, Jackie Thomas, Adam Tomasek, Aaron Vermeulen; ADB: Jeffrey Bowyer, Bruce Dunn, Kotaro Kawamata. In addition, significant contributions to the report were made by the Global Footprint Network (GFN): Gemma Cranston and Mathis Wackernagel; and TierraMar Consulting: Annisa Lawrence and Raymond C. Nias. The report was edited by Marion Canute. The layout was prepared by Louise Clements. We would also like to thank the members of ADB’s Environment Community of Practice for their comments and guidance on drafts of the report as well as ADB’s Department of External Relations and other colleagues for their support. In particular, special thanks go to ADB colleagues: Lothar Linde, Javed Hussain Mir, Alvin Lopez, Mark Bezuijen, Pavit Ramachandran; and WWF colleagues: Stuart Chapman, May Guerraoui, Isabelle Louis and Richard McLellan. We would also like to thank the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) for providing the data for the Living Planet Index. Finally, we would also like to express our sincere gratitude to the Governments of Norway and Sweden for their financial contributions to ADB’s Poverty and Environment Fund which provided a grant for this report through ADB’s Regional Technical Assistance Project on Mainstreaming Environment for Poverty Reduction.
