 About Us
Forest management is a complex and multifaceted issue– it is not just about growing or protecting trees, but is a complex interaction of policy, institutions and interests. Aware of this, the World Bank Forests Team takes a multi-sectoral approach to forest management that takes into account impacts on forests and forest people of activities, policies and practices outside the forest sector.
The Forests Team is comprised of professionals housed in both the Agriculture and Rural Development Department and the Environment Department, as well as expertise from regional staff and external partners. Furthermore, the Forests Team is part of the Bank's Natural Resources Management Thematic Group which encompasses Land Resources Management, Natural Resource Management Institutions and Irrigation and Drainage.
