IPCC WGIII Fourth Assessment Report, Second Order Draft
conservation can be greatly assisted by decreasing deforestation
activities, including the following economic benefits:
pharmaceutical opportunities, water purification, pest control,
pollination, soil protection, recreation and ecotourism, etc. See
reference “Environmental services of biodiversity” by Norman
Myers, PNAS 93, 2764-2769, 1996. Also, conserving biological
diversity and its sustainable use have a fundamental role in the
daily lives of humans and is critical for human health. A source of
reference is a book resulting from a 1995 conference sponsored by
NIH, NSF, the Smithsonian Institution, NAPE, PAHO that
discussed issues linking human health to biodiversity. Book:
Biodiversity and Human Health. Grifo F and J Rosenthal (editors).
1997. Island Press, Washington, DC, ISBN 1-55963-501-0. U.S.

"Forestation and bioenergy plantations can….": not only these 2
options can do all of that. Rehabilitation of degraded natural
vegetation cover and improved forest management practices can do
the same
(Eveline Trines, Treeness Consult)
32 A 19 38 19 38 replace "but may result in loss of economic welfare" by "but may
result in a different distribution of welfare, benefiting local
communities and the informal economy"
(Government of The Netherlands)
32 A 19 38 19 38 Even it is not wrong that avoiding deforestation may result in loss
of economic welfare, on could also predict that avoiding
deforestation by implementing sustainable forest management may
result in long term economic benefits. Therefore it is suggested to
add after "...benefits but may result in" short term "loss of
economic welfare".

32 A 20 7 0 0 Add from chapter 12: "Mitigative capacity can be understood as the
capability to reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions or
enhance natural sinks. This "ability" refers to the skills,
competencies, fitness, and proficiencies that a country has attained
which can contribute to GHG emissions mitigation, and is rooted in
the development path. Major capacity exists to make development
paths more sustainable, but is not being tapped to address climate
