FAO-CIFOR Initiatives for Sustainable Forest Conservation

Following the recommendations of the ‘Third Asia-Pacific Forest Sector Outlook Study’ published in 2019, FAO and CIFOR, lead center of the CGIAR research programme on Forests, Trees and Agroforestry (FTA), are developing two inter-related roadmaps for primary forest conservation, and for innovative forest technologies in the Asia-Pacific region. These roadmaps will include key recommendations (policy and concrete actions) informed by science. They will be developed through an inclusive and participative process, involving key regional stakeholders and technical experts and paying a specific attention to the contributions of students and young professionals.
