Issues, Resources and Actors Worksheet

Forest Caucus members are encouraged to use this worksheet as an up-to-date web interface to map out issues, resources and actors for the Forest Caucus community to facilitate informed and timely interventions in forest-related issues. The goal of the worksheet is to organize information around the levels of International, National and Provincial/Local issues according to the following categories:

• Issues: Identify and summarize key issues and its relation to the Forest Caucus mandate
• Resources: List of key information sources (websites) and documents for each issue
• Actors: Identify ENGOs working on each issue to facilitate cooperation amongst Forest Caucus members; identify organizations and industry whose position we would hope to challenge on these issues; identify key government contacts
