25. 这项倡议要在使用森林相关定义上加强连贯性，从而促进减少各国的报告负担和相关费用，并便利根据国际公约、进程和文书推动交流和谈判。
The initiative on harmonizing definitions is aimed at achieving more consistency in the use of forest-related definitions, thus contributing to reducing the reporting burden and related costs for countries, as well as facilitating communication and negotiation under international conventions, processes and instruments.
2002年以来，粮农组织、气候公约临时秘书处、林业中心、国际热带木材组织、国际林研联、环境署和政府间气候变化问题小组（气候小组）就此问题召开了三次专家会议，最近一次是在2005年1月。
FAO, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, CIFOR, ITTO, IUFRO, UNEP and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have convened three expert meetings on this issue since 2002, the latest of which was held in January 2005.
除其他外，讨论的主要词汇有，“天然林、人造林、植树造林、森林外树木、管理的森林和无管理的森林。”
Key terms discussed, among others, were “natural forest”, “planted forest”, “forest plantation”, “trees outside of forests”, “managed forest” and “unmanaged forest”.
对前三个词的定义取得了普遍但非一致的协议。
与会者就“森林管理”的工作定义达成了共识。
There was general, although not unanimous, agreement on definitions for the first three terms, and participants reached consensus on the working definition of “forest management”.
26. 会议期间还商定了向特定公约、政府间机构、国家和其他利益攸关者提出的一套广泛的建议。
An extensive set of recommendations to specific conventions, intergovernmental bodies, countries and other stakeholders was also agreed upon during the meetings.
森林合作伙伴关系提供一个森林定义网络门户， 其中包括专家会议成果、森林合作伙伴关系成员使用的定义以及一些其他词典和定义数据库的链接。
CPF provides a web portal to forest definitions, including the outcome of the expert meetings, definitions used by CPF members and a number of other links to thesauri and definition databases.
其中还包括国际林研联最近编纂的关于“森林中的碳”的多语文词汇表，突出不同的国家解释可能会引起混乱的词汇。
The recently compiled IUFRO multilingual glossary on carbon in forests, which highlights the terms that may cause confusion because of diverging national interpretations, is also included.
27. 森林相关词汇的不同定义可以在不同情况下使用，以达到不同的政治和实际目的。
Different definitions of forest-related terms can be used in various contexts to meet different political and practical ends.
如同妨碍统一报告的情况，有些问题可能最好通过加强理事机构之间的协调来解决，这些机构可制定报告中使用的定义。
As in the case of obstacles to harmonization of reporting, some problems may best be overcome through better coordination among governing bodies that may set definitions to be used in reporting.
B.3 可持续森林管理供资原始资料手册
Sourcebook on Funding for Sustainable Forest Management
28. 《可持续森林管理供资原始资料手册》是由森林合作伙伴关系与其伙伴及国家森林方案筹资机制协作编制的，以电子数据库的形式 协助用户为可持续森林管理项目寻找全球供资来源。
The Sourcebook on Funding for Sustainable Forest Management was developed by CPF in collaboration with its partners and the National Forest Programme Facility to assist users in locating global funding sources for sustainable forest management projects in the form of an electronic database.
2006年，所有数据库输入都已经更新，供资来源数目从2004年9月的450个大幅度增加到2006年3月的650个。
In 2006 all entries in the database were updated and the number of funding sources was substantially increased, from 450 in September 2004 to 650 in March 2006.
还增加了法文和西班牙文来源，以扩大地理覆盖。
French and Spanish sources were also added to increase the geographic coverage.
该数据库系统已经更新以改善信息获取，并新添了互动搜索功能。
The database system was upgraded to improve access to information, with a new interactive search function.
29. 除了数据库以外，一个新的电子“供资通讯”已经启动。
In addition to the database, a new electronic funding newsletter has been initiated.
其目的是协助全世界的寻求资金者及时了解供资机会。
It is aimed at assisting fund-seekers worldwide to learn about funding opportunities in a timely manner.
每月向600多名电子邮件订阅者发送一期。
It is sent once a month to over 600 e-mail subscribers.
《原始资料手册》还继续举办一个讨论论坛，吸引了数百人参加，并协助原始资料手册成为访问次数最多的森林合作伙伴关系网页之一。
The Sourcebook also continues to host a discussion forum that has attracted the participation of hundreds of individuals and has helped its page become one of the most frequently visited on the CPF website.
