Lead the change for our forests
Coming together to put forests first
Forests are a vital resource that play a valuable role in our environment, communities, and economy.
Truly responsible forest management balances these interests to achieve outcomes that benefit all.
That’s why we’re governed by a global network of over 1,000 individuals and member organizations representing environmental, social, and economic perspectives.
Our democratic and participative system brings these diverse perspectives together to find solutions that protect healthy, resilient forests worldwide.
