CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL FORESTRY RESEARCH

 

CIFOR is a global knowledge organisation committed to enhancing the benefits of forests for people in the tropics. CIFOR was established under the CGIAR system in response to global concerns about the social, environmental and economic consequences of loss and degradation of forests. It operates through a series of highly decentralized partnerships with key institutions and/or individuals throughout the developing and industrialized worlds. The nature and duration of these partnerships is determined by the specific research problems being addressed. This research agenda is under constant review and is subject to change as CIFOR's partners recognize new opportunities and problems.				CIFOR AIMS To improve the scientific basis for ensuring the balanced management of forests To develop policies and technologies for sustainable use and management of forest goods and services To strengthen capacities for research to support the development of policies and technologies for the use of forests
