Our values
Evidence-based:
We regularly update our campaigns to take on board newly published, peer-reviewed literature and practical experience.
Collaborative:
We are a co-managed organisation that prioritises finding ways for affected people to be heard. We build and deliver shared campaigns with forest peoples, non-governmental organisations, movements, workers, citizens and others.
Independent:
We believe our strength stems from our ability to question established thinking. We support no political parties, governments or commercial enterprises, and have a funding strategy to ensure our work can be developed and continue regardless of any pressure from funders or the public.
Solution-orientated:
We undertake a wide range of activities from technical research to campaigning activism, and propose solutions that challenge the status quo.
