Our projects
Promoting sustainable forest management among Latvian forest owners
Smallholders
Latvia's fragmented property structure meant private forest certification was a challenge. Thanks to this project, private forest owners in Latvia have achieved PEFC certification.
Developing tools to support small-forest owners achieve certification
Innovation
Forest certification can be a burden for many small- and family forest owners. By developing an online group registration and management system, this project sought to make their lives a little easier.
Protecting rare tree species in Malaysia
Research
Conservation of biodiversity and rare species is integral to sustainable forest management. This project supported the development of monitoring and conservation procedures for endangered species in Peninsular Malaysia.
Promoting forest certification to the forest managers of the future
Innovation
Forestry students are the future of forest management. Through this project, we provided forest certification training to the students and teachers of forestry and wood schools in Slovakia.
Fostering partnerships to promote PEFC certification in Hungary
Smallholders
Hungary was one of the few remaining European countries with a significant share of private forest owners, but without a national forest certification system. Our Collaboration Fund project helped to change this.
