In Brief:

The International Forum for Rural Transport and Development
(IFRTD) organised an international seminar on Waterways and
Livelihoods.An advocacy and policy toolkit was an outcome of the
seminar.

Environmental issues play a major role in ensuring sustainable livelihoods and reducing poverty. An SL framework can help show how issues such as biodiversity contribute to livelihoods as well as to natural capital and resources.

Two new DFID publications explain the links between poverty and the environment and offer some suggestions for action. They point out the potential of biodiversity for reducing poverty and highlight strategies that promote both poverty reduction and sustainable use of natural resources.

The First Annual Regional Environmental Forum (REF) for Mainland Southeast Asia was held in Cambodia to discuss environmental governance challenges in the Mekong region.

A digest of two new papers from NRSP offers guidelines on how best to scale-up and communicate natural resources management research to it's intended beneficiaries (development practitioners, planners, farmers, etc.).

Researchers from Michigan State University announce a new Internet-based resource for people involved in watershed management. The website has a number of resources
for users, including literature, project lists, and a forum for sharing ideas.
