Growing Forest Partnerships strives for a world where forests and the different people who live and work in them are in balance. Where forests are conserved and the rights of those living in them are recognized and respected. Where forests support people's livelihoods, offer opportunities to tackle climate change, provide good economic returns for responsible businesses without exacerbating forest degradation, and can raise revenue for both governments and forest dependent people.

Glimpses of this positive vision can already be seen. Some innovative and successful approaches to forest management have been pioneered by forest communities, businesses and national governments and are thriving today. We need now to build on this – finding new ways of working that enable different interests and constituencies to work together.

Canopy of Friends

We have built a Canopy of Friends.

Short video messages from individuals with an interest in how we manage the world’s forests.

As part of its process of engagement, Growing Forest Partnerships designed the Canopy of Friends to share views from individuals with key decision makers and at key international fora.
