Connecting Cities to Forests for Conservation, Restoration and Mutual Benefit
Around the world hundreds of forest communities are protecting the environment and producing forest-positive products that badly need the support of a stable market such as a city can provide. To support these enterprises, the Partner Forest Program connects cities with specific tropical forest areas and communities for mutual benefit, and in support of forest conservation and restoration strategies. These partnerships can take various forms, depending on need and interest. Partnerships can start, for example, with procurement of conservation timber for use in a city landmark, of forest carbon credits, or of non-timber forest products, like coffee, cocoa, or rubber.
