TITLE DESCRIPTION REPORT

AfriTRON: African Tropical Rainforest Observation Network The African Tropical Rainforest Observation Network (AfriTRON), is an international network of researchers engaged in on-the-ground long-term monitoring of tropical forests.

The network pools expertise and data to help answer larger-scale and longer-term questions relating to the ecology and biogeochemistry of African tropical forests. In particular AfriTRON aims to address questions of contemporary importance such as the possible impacts of regional and global environmental changes on tropical forests, and the impacts of changes in the forests themselves on the regional and global environment. This is done through partnerships between scientists across the world, students and local villages who host our field-trips. 		Broken link

Global Canopy Programme The Global Canopy Programme (GCP) works to demonstrate the scientific, political and financial case for safeguarding tropical forests as natural capital essential to lasting human wellbeing and economic prosperity.

The Programme's initiatives include the Forest Footprint Disclosure Project, the Natural Capital Declaration, the REDD Desk and the Little Book series. They test innovative solutions to protect forests within a global economy that still values them more dead than alive.

GCP is a not-for-profit research group and project incubator based in the UK. 		Broken link

Global Institute of Sustainable Forestry Since its founding in 1900, the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies has been in the forefront of developing a science-based approach to forest management, and in training leaders world-wide. The Global Institute of Sustainable Forestry established in 2000 continues this tradition. It's mission is to integrate, strengthen and direct the School's forestry research, education and outreach to address the challenges of sustaining forests in the 21st century and a globalized world.

GISF undertakes formal research and education programmes, a number of which relate to illegal logging issues. This includes hosting 'The Forests Dialogue', which works on forest certification, illegal logging and corruption. 		Broken link
