The world's forests provide an array of services that sustain life. And yet, this precious resource is being cleared and degraded at an alarming rate.

Forest Trends helps to stem this destruction by advancing sustainable forestry and forestry's contribution to community livelihoods worldwide, focusing particularly on market mechanisms. We analyze strategic market and policy issues, catalyze connections between forward looking producers, communities and investors, and develop new financial tools to help markets work for conservation and people.

Each day we work with collaborators all over the world to advance and refine solutions to preserving the world's forests and to improve local livelihoods.

Forest Trends is known to be a good steward of its funds. The non-profit evaluator Charity Navigator has given Forest Trends its highest rating (4 out of 4 stars) recognizing excellence in our financial management and organizational efficiency.
