The International Model Forest Network (IMFN) is a global community of practice whose members and supporters work toward a common goal: the sustainable management of forest-based landscapes through the Model Forest approach. The IMFN is comprised of all member Model Forests in existence or under development around the world.
Model Forests are based on a flexible approach that combines the social, environmental and economic needs of local communities with the long-term sustainability of forest landscapes.
The Model Forest Toolkit is a series of documents produced by the IMFNS to provide guidance to new and existing Model Forests. The toolkit is available in English, French, Spanish and Russian.
Connections is a theme-based newsletter produced twice yearly by the IMFN Secretariat on behalf of the Network membership
