FAO Forestry Division

The FAO Forestry Division is part of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization that focuses on sustainable management and conservation of forests worldwide. It provides expertise, policies, and support to ensure forests are healthy, diverse, and productive. This helps protect biodiversity, combat climate change by sequestering carbon, and support livelihoods for communities relying on forest resources. The division works with countries to develop strategies, monitor forest health, and promote responsible practices that balance economic, environmental, and social needs for current and future generations.
