Dialogue on Intensively Managed Planted Forests in Indonesia

The Forests Dialogue (TFD) will convene a multistakeholder dialogue with
associated field visits in Sumatra, Indonesia in March 2007 to continue its
exploration of intensively managed planted forests (IMPFs). The objective of this
dialogue initiative is to identify the conditions under which IMPFs can deliver an
optimal and equitable mix of economic, social and environmental benefits both
locally and globally. The Indonesia dialogue is a follow-on from the IMPF China
dialogue of April 2006 and is the second in a series of dialogues and field visits by
this working group to key IMPF regions around the world. It aims to expand the
working group’s knowledge of IMPFs and contribute to ongoing national policy
discussions on the role of IMPFs in meeting Indonesia’s future fiber demands.
Summaries of previous TFD dialogues on IMPFs can be found on the website.
