The Secretariat of the CBD reports: “Through the generosity of the Government of Spain, the secretariat of the Convention developed memorandums of understanding with the Latin American and Caribbean regional office of the World Conservation Union and the Tebtebba Foundation to facilitate the Latin American and Caribbean regional consultation, which was held in December 2006 in Quito, and the international expert meeting on indicators, which was held in the Philippines from 5 to 9 March 2007. The reports of those meetings will be considered at the fifth meeting of the Working Group on Article 8 (j) and at the ninth meeting of the Conference of the Parties, and will inform the adoption of indicators relevant to indigenous and local communities within the context of the Convention and the 2010 biodiversity target.”
