We gratefully acknowledge the generosity of dedicated business organizations that have provided funds to make this forum possible – namely, Toyota Motor Thailand, PTT Public Company Limited, Charoen Pokphand Foods Public Company Limited, Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT), Metropolitan Electricity Authority of Thailand, Chevron Thailand Exploration and Production Limited, Provincial Electricity Authority of Thailand, Asian Honda Motor Company Limited and Thai Airways International Public Company Limited. In early 2011, the Park signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity to join hands in promoting biodiversity from which the initiative in organizing this forum emanated from, in collaboration with the United Nations University Institute of Advanced Studies. I acknowledge with gratitude the holding of the meeting of the Asia- Pacific Regional Centres of Expertise on ESD yesterday at the Park under the auspices of the United Nations University. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, WWF Thailand, and all organizations represented in the Forum Organizing Committee are gratefully acknowledged for their hard work in making this event a reality. We are thankful to the Japan Business Initiative for Biodiversity for their partnership and for encouraging some of their members to make presentations. We welcome the participation of business organizations, Asia-Pacific RCEs, government agencies, academic institutions, non-governmental organizations, international organizations, civil society organizations, schools and all others, which have contributed to making the Asia Regional Forum on Biodiversity a success. We are thankful to all those who are making presentations and providing exhibits to share knowledge and information with all participants. I wish the Asia Regional Forum on Biodiversity to be a great success. Thank you. ENCOURAGING PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN BUSINESS AND COMMUNITIES FOR BIODIVERSITY xvii
