BirdLife

The BirdLife European Forest Task Force - Science, Advocacy, Education

FTF works to:

 

  • promote a vision of a European network of protected forests sufficiently large and strictly protected to prevent further extinction of forest species

  • ensure that commercial forest management practices in Europe do not harm forests of high biological value

  • support the recovery of biodiversity through restoration of intensively managed forests – both protected and commercial - to a more natural state

The FTF and BirdLife Partners work for forest protection through:


  • Locating and mapping biologically important forests in Europe

  • Organising seminars on key forest protection issues

  • Monitoring the effects of biodiversity enhancing measures in forests

  • Informing forest owners about environmentally friendly forestry

  • Promoting good quality, democratic certification schemes providing international and independent eco-labelling schemes for timber and timber products

  • Creating links among BirdLife Partners and other NGOs

  • Representing BirdLife’s viewpoint on environmentally benign forestry at international fora

  • works with the EU on forest issues, and publishes a wide variety of information on forest research and advocacy
