Dear All,

We entered in the year 2010 with hopes that our strong commitment and dedicated work  will contribute to the growth of pro-biodiversity funds and hereby the enhancement  of  biodiversity conservation. Since the conference 'Boosting investments in Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services' that took place in Amsterdam on 11-12 November in 2009 we are more convinced that there is important work to be done by us and hopefully in close partnership with all of you.  The team of ‘the Center for Sustainability’ of Nyenrode Business Universiteit is very pleased with the results of the conference. The interactive discussions between the participants, the interesting presentations of the speakers and a very high level of commitment and interest of all of us made this a worthy event.  We would like to thank all of you for your  significant input, which forms the first  building stone in our further cooperation.

 With warmest regards,

 Team of the Center for Sustainability .
