The Gap

Coastal forests and woodlands are under severe pressure from unsustainable harvesting, land conversion and climate impacts. Local communities depend on these resources for their livelihoods.

What We're Building

We are supporting community-led coastal forestry enterprises by developing sustainable management plans, strengthening value chains and certification schemes.

The capacity building, tenure and market development needed to establish sustainable forestry enterprises is not commercially viable at the outset; foundation support builds the foundation for long-term value.
