FORESTS
AND COMMUNITIES
"Developing
sustainability means transforming national and international systems to
restore forests and communities, by giving greater power and control to
local peoples. Through community forestry, we can develop
sustainability.
Connecting, learning and relating with other people and perspectives,
the International Network of Forests and Communities is committed to
advancing community forestry that is ecologically sustainable and
socially just."

is a member of the
TAIGA
RESCUE NETWORK
The
Taiga Rescue Network (TRN) is an international network of non
governmental organisation, indigenous peoples and nations working for
the protection and sustainable use of the world's boreal forests.
The
Taiga - or Boreal Forest - is a belt of coniferous dominated forest
encircling the Northern hemisphere and making up one third of the
world's total forest area, much of it still largely undisturbed. It
represents the single largest terrestrial ecosystem on the planet,
covering the far Northern regions of North America, Russia and Europe.
If you have a moment please visit the excellent TRN website or read more
about it in our Action & Environment section.
