Asia-Pacific Forestry Week (APFW2019) was held in Songdo Convensia Convention Center, Incheon, Republic of Korea on 17-21 June 2019. It was one of the largest and most important forestry gatherings in the Asia-Pacific region in 2019. Forests for peace and well-being was the overall theme of APFW2019, which reflects the positive dimensions of forestry and suggests the need to proactively integrate forestry into the wider context of environment, society, and sustainable development, under which economic, social, human and cultural dimensions are considered in a holistic manner.

The Korea Forest Service (KFS) hosted the event together with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). We encouraged participation and support of partner organizations and collaborators including government, civil society, research, academia, and the private sector.
