Countries in mountain regions are reorienting forest policies toward a multipronged strategy involving conservation, restoration and production.
CIFOR's Sloping Land in Transition (SLANT) research program is expanding to Bhutan with an aim of finding causal pathways between up-slope forest management and down-slope security.
Forests figure strongly in Bhutan's philosophical and operational framework of Gross National Happiness (GNH).
Expected project outcomes are the following:

development of stakeholder capacity in participatory research and decision-making processes
increased awareness by district and national sectorial management units and policy makers about the role of upland smallholder communities in management of forest landscapes
support to a cadre of forestry professionals through their integration into the project team.
