Forest Governance Integrity (FGI)

Forest Governance Integrity (FGI) refers to the honesty, transparency, and accountability in managing forest resources. It ensures that decisions about forests are made fairly, with proper enforcement of laws, and that benefits are shared equitably among stakeholders. FGI helps prevent illegal activities like illegal logging and corruption, promoting sustainable use of forests. Good governance in this context supports environmental health, protects communities' rights, and maintains the forest's ecological and economic value for current and future generations.
