The Centre for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) became a specialised unit of the Executive Secretariat of the Central African Forest Commission (COMIFAC) in November 2010. It is a regional organisation of eleven member states, which aims to promote regional coordination and cooperation on forest governance, conservation, and sustainable use of natural resources.
Firstly, the European Commission (EC) published its breakthrough proposal for a EU Regulation on deforestation-free products, which Fern and allies have been working towards for years.
