The Lepaterique Central American Process on Criteria and Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management
The Lepaterique Process was initiated following the recommendations of an Expert Meeting on Criteria and Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management organized by the Council for Forests and Protected Areas (CCAB-AP) in collaboration with FAO in 1997.
Experts from the seven participating countries identified four criteria and 40 indicators, at the regional level, and eight criteria and 53 indicators, at the national level. The expert meeting was followed by two sub regional training workshops and seven national seminars, which reviewed applicability and availability of data and made recommendations on future implementation. Countries concerned are at present carrying out National Validation Exercises to review the criteria and indicators identified.
Member countries
Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama.
