Forests are our focus as one of the most important ecosystems for biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation and local economic development. We will keep working together tackling challenges that both nature and people face in developing countries. Working together “to grow a canopy of trees providing home, shelter, food, a livelihood as well as a place to wander”. By promoting sustainable use of the natural resources we provide support to local communities and governments for creating a life in harmony with nature. Through our projects we contribute to a better South East Europe by working in the following six key areas: 1. Sustainable natural resource management 2. Climate change 3. Rural development 4. Renewable energy 5. Community mobilisation 6. European accession
