Welcome to the FORNESSA Information Service (FORNIS) to find information on FORNESSA's current networking activities, which currently concentrate on the following thematic areas: |
|
|---|---|
Forests and Poverty Alleviation Poverty particularly among forest communities in Africa is a serious concern. This group contributes baseline information and indigenous knowledge on the contribution of forests to livelihood of local communities and national economies. |
Forests and Climate Change The work of this group supports national and regional adaptation in Africa by means of an improved scientific understanding of the impacts of climate change on forests and people in Africa and the options and priorities for adaptation. |
Forest Products Utilisation and Trade Efficient processing and utilisation of forest products, trade and taxation, and valuation of forest are key issues to support sustainable conservation and management of forest resources. The group will synthesise latest research on these issues and identify specific new areas for scientific inquiry. |
Forest Policy and Governance Land tenure, forest use conflicts and benefit sharing arrangements are key issues to be addressed in African forest policy. State-of-the-art knowledge on these issues across Sub-Saharan Africa will assist in formulation and implementation of appropriate policies. |
