GIFN in a Nutshell
The GIFN (Global Industrial Forestry Network) initiative started as a platform for multi-stakeholder dialogue to promote multidisciplinary approaches on sustainable use and management of natural forests and forest plantations.
The GIFN members aim at developing the highest standards of academic education, research, and expert capacity in the field of management of natural forests and forest plantations to respond to the demands of highly qualified professional foresters for a globalising forestry sector.
The GIFN promotes open dialogue and active exchange of information among forest stakeholders, and thus is fully committed to support social sustainability, social responsibility, and social acceptability for the adequate management and sustainable use of natural forests and forest plantations worldwide.
