Stream 3Serving Society: Forestry

and People

We must allow people-centered forestry

to deliver the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Recognize and empower key forestry stakeholders

Forest people

You have heard many voices – from NGOs, academia and government

The most important voices are directly from the forests

Please allow my community, my family, and I

to use our knowledge ...to protect the forest

...to benefit from the forest

I am helping my community

to adapt to climate change,

and ensuring my community

manages our forest in a

sustainable way

But... there are many things

that limit our chances to

benefit from the forest...

...and we need more

incentives

to take care of the forest

The forests are so important for us all, It is our homeIt is our life

Listen to us, we know the forests the best, we depend on the forest the most...

For our society, for my family and for me, listen to the voices of local communities

Recommendation:Strengthen

local rights and, enable and invest in local institutions and

capacities
