To meet growing global demands for food without losing more forests to conversion, we need innovation in forestry practices to keep space for productive forests while meeting ever-growing societal needs. This presentation explores the potential of multiple use forests for reducing tropical forest loss - because despite technical, managerial and regulatory challenges, 'multiple use' has proven to be beneficial in many areas. CIFOR scientist Manuel Guariguata gave this presentation during Tree Diversity Day, held on 11 October 2012 at the 11th Conference of Parties for the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD COP11). Tree Diversity Day was organised by the CGIAR Research Program on Forests, Trees and Agroforestry. For more information visit www.worldagroforestry.org/crp6/events/tree-diversity-day-cbd-cop11
