Fern.org tracks the EU's involvement in forests and forestry
Title
FERN - Home
Description
FERN stands for Forests and the European Union Resource Network and works to create real change in policies and practices of the EU, specifically those that impact on forests and forest peoples’ rights globally. We work closely with environmental groups and social movements world-wide and are connected with, and motivated by, their concerns – from locally-based struggles for rights to national or regional campaigns against destructive practices, such as large scale industrial logging, mining and large dams.
With so many issues affecting forests globally, FERN has decided to focus on the underlying causes that in many cases lead to forest loss.These include financial flows, the international trade in timber and other forest products, and government policies.
Our work consists of research, analysis, facilitation, co-ordination, support, education and advocacy. In all our work we try to increase the political and economic space for people to create a more balanced society in which there is a true respect for forest peoples, human rights and environmental and social values.
