The
International Programs News 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.
The Office of 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.
