By design they are voluntary, broad-based initiatives linking forestry, research, agriculture, mining, recreation and other interests in a given landscape. The report outlines multiple international projects, global networks and partnerships and compiles and presents numerous journal articles and other project outputs. A shared framework allows and encourages substantive decision‐making on program priorities, and directions are left to the discretion of stakeholder groups.Text1 digital file (322 p. : ill.)Application/pdfenFORESTRYINTERNATIONAL MODEL FOREST NETWORKIMFNACTION RESEARCHFOREST RESOURCESFOREST CONSERVATIONSUSTAINABLE FOREST MANAGEMENTMODEL FORESTSCAPACITY BUILDINGGOVERNANCEEnhancing action research capacity in the international model forest network : final report, December 19, 2007 to March 31, 2012IDRC Final Report
