The Center for International Forestry Research is a nonprofit, global
facility dedicated to advancing human wellbeing, environmental
conservation and equity. We conduct research that enables more informed
and equitable decision making about the use and management of forests in
less-developed countries.
Our research and expert analysis help policy makers and practitioners
shape effective policy, improve the management of tropical forests and
address the needs and perspectives of people who depend on forests for
their livelihoods. Our multidisciplinary approach considers the
underlying drivers of deforestation and degradation which often lie
outside the forestry sector: forces such as agriculture, infrastructure
development, trade and investment policies and law enforcement.
