About Us
Forestry & Development is an online resource on sustainable forestry. It supports commercial forestry as a viable source of economic growth which is compatible with sustainability. It seeks to inform the reader on the latest forestry developments, with a specific focus on the commercial forest sector in Papua New Guinea.
Forestry & Development was established by ITS Global (www.itsglobal.net), a consultancy on international trade, environment and development issues. ITS Global is listed as a consultant with the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes (PEFC) Council, and has expertise in forest management and forest certification systems. In 2005, ITS Global undertook projects to assess Cerflor (Brazilian forest certification scheme) and the Sustainable Forestry Initiative Program (North American forest certification scheme) against the requirements of the PEFC Council as part of the PEFC mutual recognition process.
