Dear all,
Last April, the IUCN Eastern and Southern Africa Regional Office of
Nairobi hosted a workshop on biofuels and alien species, where a
number of risks and deficits associated to the ongoing biofuel
developments in the region have been identified.
An outcome of the workshop has been the drafting of guidelines on
this emerging issue. The document, which is currently being
circulated for further consultation, is available for download on
both IUCN's and GISP's websites:

http://www.gisp.org/whatsnew/docs/IUCNBiofuels_IASdraft.pdf
If you have any comment or suggestion, please send them to
<mailto:ene-@iucn..org>ene-@iucn.org so that these can be taken
into account in the finalisation of the guidelines.
Kind regards
Piero
