Over 80 participants, from 12 Asia-Pacific nations, gathered at the First Regional Forum for People and Forests, convened in Hanoi, Vietnam, from 18-20 August 2009. The participants concluded that local people hold the key to healthy forests and agreed on "Call for Action", for including forest-depended communities in the battle against climate change.
