Global
Leaflet presents highlights of policy, research,
technical cooperation, development, and conservation
activities in which the Forest Service is involved worldwide.
Its purpose is to demonstrate the breadth and importance
of international collaboration on natural resource management
issues and to share information within the Forest Service
and with our partners in the United States and around
the world.
International Programs (IP) is dedicated to applying
the wealth of skills within the Forest Service to foster
sustainable forest management globally. We encourage
linking the agency's researchers, foresters, wildlife
biologists, hydrologists, policymakers, and disaster
specialists, with partners overseas to work on assignments
in the areas of technical cooperation, policy assistance,
and disaster coordination. Our focus is on key natural
resource problems and issues in countries with significant
forest resources and important forest-related trade
with the United States. International cooperation results
in improved sustainable natural resource practices in
partner countries, develops the skills of Forest Service
personnel, and brings back knowledge and innovative
technologies to the United States.
