The Forest Policy and Environment Group’s strategy is to strive for a broader, more livelihood-oriented approach to the importance of trees and forests, focusing especially on institutional, policy and socio-economic aspects of sustainable forest management and conservation as well as on the interface between forests and other land-uses.
They take a multi-disciplinary approach to examing a range of related issues including:
- Community based forestry
- Biodiversity conservation
- Forestry policy
- Trade in forest products
Copies of the group’s working papers are available from their website and on CDROM.
