Who we are
Founded in 1995, we are an organisation based in the heart of the EU, dedicated to protecting forests and the rights of people who depend on them. We make decisions by consensus and build campaigns together with social and environmental organisations and movements across the world. We identify the threats facing the world’s forests, and work with affected peoples, social and environmental organisations and policy makers to devise and deliver solutions where the EU can make a difference.
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.
Fern focuses on forests’ relation to five issues, Forest Governance, Sustainable supply chains, Trade, Forest restoration and Bioenergy.
