> Dear friends of the Mountain Partnership,
>
> As communicated to you on 25  July by Mr Eduardo Mansur, Director Forest
> Assessment, Management and Conservation Division of FAO's Forestry
> Department, I assumed the task of Interim Coordinator of the Mountain
> Partnership Secretariat as of today. It is a pleasure and honor to work
> with all of you. Together with the entire team in the Mountain Partnership
> Secretariat, I will do my best to live up to the expectations. And please
> allow me to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to my predecessors,
> Doug McGuire and Olman Serrano, for their excellent work during the last
> ten years.
>
> 2012 is a strategic year for mountains: we take stock of the achievements
> 20 years after the 1st Rio Conference, which gave birth to Chapter 13
> (Sustainable Mountain Development) in Agenda 21. The celebration of the
> International Year of Mountains 2002 and the creation of the Mountain
> Partnership were milestone events during that period. The fact that
> sustainable mountain development gets prominent attention in the outcome
> document of Rio+20 is a clear indicator of success, to which all of you
> have significantly contributed through local, national, regional and
> global initiatives. But it is also a significant responsibility and a call
> to the global community to continue and increase its attention to
> sustainable mountain development in order to address the current and
> future challenges.
>
> 2012 is also a period of renewal in the Mountain Partnership Secretariat
> (MPS). We would like to capitalize on the important achievements of the
> last ten years, during which the attention to mountains and mountain
> people has considerably increased at international, regional and national
> levels. The membership has recognized that it is the right moment to
> critically review the current strategy of the Mountain Partnership (MP),
> based on the achievements and lessons learned since its creation. It has
> also been recognized that it is time to strengthen the governance
> structure of the MP by making it more inclusive and participatory. This
> process was launched in the context of the preparations for Rio+20 and
> during the Rio Conference itself, but it needs further reflection,
> discussion and refinement. We hope that by February 2013 the MP will be
> fully operational and supported by a new governance structure agreed upon
> by all. We will keep you regularly informed about the progress we are
> making.
>
> We very much look forward to working with you and we thank you very much
> for your continued support.

> Sincerely,
