The Montreal Process

The Montreal Process is an international framework established in 1994 to promote sustainable forest management among member countries, primarily in the temperate and boreal regions. It provides guidelines and criteria to ensure forests are healthy, productive, and able to meet economic, ecological, and social needs now and in the future. By sharing knowledge and best practices, countries aim to balance environmental conservation with responsible resource use, helping prevent deforestation, preserve biodiversity, and maintain ecosystem integrity for future generations.
