Strategic Plan 2012-2016

Re-visioning: Just Forests is under a process of re-visioning and our Strategic Plan is currently being re-visited. A number of new processes such as the EU Timber Regulation (EU TR) and the review of the White Paper on Irish Aid will influence our vision going forward. Our Vision is that all timber and wood-based products entering Ireland will be legal, FSC-certified and the result of Fair Trade and that good forest management will help alleviate poverty and protect biological diversity. Just Forest’s Mission is to contribute to increased public awareness and critical understanding of the link between sustainable forest management, responsible and legal timber extraction and poverty reduction in the developing world. Our overarching objective is to: Endeavour to advance public support for a values-driven approach to sustainable forestry, livelihood support, biodiversity protection and fair trade in timber and wood-based products. We achieve this by delivering 5 programmes defined by their methodology or the primary target group.
