The Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF), an international consortium working on international forest issues and chaired by FAO, has launched its inaugural Wangari Maathai Award to honour and commemorate an extraordinary woman who championed forest issues around the world. The USD 20,000 award will be given in recognition of outstanding contributions made by an individual to preserve, restore and sustainably manage forests and to communicate the key role forests play in rural livelihoods and the environment across generations.

 

The deadline for nominations is 15 June 2012.
