International Workshop on Gender and Forest Tenure in Asia and Collective Forest Tenure Reform in China

The International Workshop on Gender and Forest Tenure in Asia and Collective Forest Tenure Reform in China will be hosted by the Chinese Academy of Forestry (CAF), in collaboration with RRI, Landesa-RDI, and the China State Forestry Administration (SFA), and will include high-level participation from provincial and national government agencies in China, leading experts on gender and forest tenure from the Asia region, and representatives from Chinese civil society organizations. 

The dialogue on women and forest tenure will inform the ensuing discussion on China's forest tenure reforms, and will emphasize that clear strategies for women's participation in forest management are essential for reducing deforestation, improving community livelihoods, and increasing overall returns from the forest sector.
