*2011-09-11**NRMI: NATURAL RESOURCE MONITORING ITEMS OF INTEREST*
This Issue: */CO_2 Sequestration (Part 1 of 4) /*and Some Other Good Things
*CO_2 SEQUESTRATION (Part 1 of 4)/- /*Last summer I was seeking any
publications on what various countries are doing in regard to carbon
sequestration activities involving forests. I was particularly
interested in those that applied to Costa Rica. Here are some sites that
may be of interest. My deepest thanks to John Addison (Canada), Agustin
Contreras Arias, Yair Levey (Belgium), Roman Michalak and Ed Pepke
(UNECE), Ana Quirós, CCS-(CIC y CCS-CFI Costa Rica), and Allan Chin Wo
Cruz, Lesmes Chaves Mesén, and Bernardo Vargas Montes de Oca (RECOPE
Costa Rica) for their suggestions and assistance. Cheers, Gyde.
