Strengthening Forest Education Globally to Promote Sustainable Management of Forests - GCP/GLO/044/GER
As deforestation continues and the disconnection between people, nature and forests grows, education is fundamental to achieving sustainable forest management. Yet it must keep pace with changing demands on forests and increasing pressures on forest resources. Experts have raised concerns that education dealing with forests is insufficient and outdated in many places, failing to give current and future generations the awareness and understanding of forests they need. New education offensives are necessary to address these challenges. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) launched this project to catalyse , accelerate and enhance broad efforts in forest education in developing countries and to counteract the considerable deficiencies in forest education in many parts of the world. A partnership between FAO, the International Tropical Timber Organization and the International Union of Forest Research Organizations, the project is designed to lay the foundation for a longer term effort in forest education, envisaged as a Joint Initiative of the Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF).
