Forests Monitor works to increase transparency and accountability of the forestry sector in order to improve governance and management of the world’s forests. We work to achieve this through investigating and monitoring the timber industry and providing training in forest monitoring and law enforcement. Through these activities we seek to establish an open and transparent dialogue with all concerned actors. Based on our experience in the field, Forests Monitor has found that industrial logging, rather than contributing towards sustainable development, often drives corruption, conflict and poverty. In response to this, we are exploring alternative models for forest management, focusing in particular on community-based forestry.
