Forests Monitor

Forests Monitor

Forests Monitor was established in 1993 to support forest-dependent people and raise public awareness about the negative impact that industrial forest exploitation has on the people that live in these forests and on the ecosystems that support them, including the wide range of plants and animals. Their aim is to provide detailed research on forestry companies and their activities to NGOs and interested citizen's groups, and so support and empower those people affected by bad practices. Forests Monitor is a non-profit, non-governmental organisation.

Forests Monitor also contributes to the international and national forest policy formation through global processes such as the UNFF and regional forest law enforcement and governance (FLEG) processes such as the Africa FLEG and the ENA FLEG. The recent [http://www.forestsmonitor.org/en/reports/551571 Concessions to Poverty report] co-produced between Forests Monitor and The Rainforest Foundation addresses these issues.
