• When: Created in 2005
• Why: To informally engage the top public forest agency leaders in advancing international dialogue and exchange on:
• Forest governance and the role of forest agencies
• Global trends affecting forests (industry, trade, etc.)
• Tenure and rights associated with ‘forest people’

Method
Create the opportunity for leaders to share their challenges and experiences in an open, frank way. Collectively strengthen their abilities to address transitions in the forest sector.

Why a new network?
Other meetings are too formal and offer little time for high-level officials to have a real dialogue
9 October 21,
2013
Goals
• Candid dialogue on the most important issues facing the forest sector (e.g. climate change, trade)
• Share strategies and approaches to tenure and regulatory reforms
• Discuss how forest agencies have adapted to new issues & challenges
• Exchange strategies on how to manage large, catastrophic events (fire, insects/disease)
