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
Collaborative:
We are part of a global movement working for human rights and environmental justice. The individuals and organisations with whom we collaborate are partners and our relationship with them is mutually beneficial.

Our positions and campaigns are based on active research.
Independent:
Fern has a diverse funding base, meaning that our workplans are not tied to individual funders’ philosophies or public perceptions.
Challenging:
Fern persistently questions established thinking about what can and can’t be achieved and responds positively with pro-active ways forward.
Inclusive:
Both internally and externally we strive for transparent, consultative decision-making.
Fern focuses on forests’ relation to five issues, Forest Governance, Sustainable supply chains, Trade, Forest restoration and Bioenergy.
