Did you know that the results of the work of Australian foresters in Nepal can be seen on satellite due to the extent of the community forests established over the past four decades? Did you know Hillary Clinton described this project as “impressive” and “a standout”?
Did you know that Australian forestry professionals are still making their mark globally, leading projects to support forest conservation, economic growth and community development in developing nations?
