Our projects
Working in partnership to bring sustainable management to Myanmar’s forests
National system development
As Myanmar reforms its forest sector, we are supporting the country towards sustainable management of its forest resources in order to advance equitable and sustainable development.
Supporting stakeholders to develop the Macedonian forest certification system
National system development
Following on from an initial outreach project carried out in the Southwest Balkans, this project guided Macedonia through the system development process, up to their application to PEFC for endorsement.
Establishing group certification for New Zealand’s small-forest owners
Smallholders
Over half a million hectares of New Zealand’s forests are owned by small forest growers, but uptake of certification had remained low. This project has made certification accessible through the development of a PEFC group certification system.
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.
