The idea was to participate in a side event organized by AMPB, with the support of the Institute of Earth Innovation (EII) and PRISMA during the Governors’ Climate & Forests Task Force (GCF) event in Guadalajara, Mexico; this was at the end of August, with a presentation of AMPB scheduled. COICA and AMAN should participate, but the first canceled at the last minute and the second never answered the invitation. Weaving Ties also facilitated the airplane ticket for a representative of REPALEAC, but this one lost his flight.
In addition, in Guadalajara, Weaving Ties (Leticia Doormann and Michel Laforge) was invited to participate in a meeting of the AMPB Extended Commission, during which we were able to see the functioning of this organization; we were also officially presented, obtaining an official endorsement of the extended Commission for a collaboration between Weaving Ties and AMPB. We also had a first contact with the new person in charge of the collaboration with the «global initiative of forests» in PURPOSE, José Martínez.
