Welcome to our website, where you will discover an experienced community of practice, find tools to plan and implement sustainable forest management, and learn from inspiring initiatives from all around the world.
Model Forests make up a greater network of individuals and organizations planning and implementing a range of activities relevant to local landscape priorities. Examples include: forest landscape restoration, natural resource policy development, integrated fire management, nature-based solutions, community training and capacity building, market diversification and gender-responsive initiatives.
For more than 30 years Model Forests have been practicing a landscape approach to sustainable development and continue to make a difference around the world.
As the international community looks for ways to achieve their commitments – locally, nationally or internationally under the Sustainable Development Goals, the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and other agreements, we point to the success that has come from within our Network and look ahead to scaling up these lessons for even greater achievements, together.
