The ODI Forest Policy and Environment Group (FPEG) seeks to inform the processes of policy change in tropical forestry in ways which improve the livelihoods and well-being of the forest-dependent poor, whilst also securing the long-term future of forest resources. This site contains an archive of over 200 full-text papers (most in English, French and Spanish) charting the development of people-oriented forestry from 1985 to the present day.
