Dear Readers,
We are very pleased to announce the completion of RECOFTC’s new
Strategic Plan for 2008–2013. RECOFTC’s new direction appropriately
responds to the rapid social, political, economic, and environmental changes significantly
affecting millions of people living in and around forests. In the Commentary of the Month, RECOFTC
Associate Thomas Enters reflects on this strategic shift. During this
exciting time for RECOFTC, we are now advertising several key positions to
implement the new Plan. Please see Job Opportunities
for more details.
This month, we also highlight the role of conflict in forestry and
natural resource management. For
information, viewpoints, and upcoming events on this topic, see What We Are Reading, Network of the
Month, and Events and Activities.
We appreciate the opportunity to share community forestry-related news.
Send your updates and areas of interest to naomi@recoftc.org.
