What is Forestry Development Center?

The Forestry Development Center (FDC) was established through the Section 11 of the Presidential Decree No. 1559 signed into law on the 11th of June 1978. The center was mandated to:

“Conduct basic policy researches in forestry and develop or help develop an effective machinery for forestry policy formulation and implementation.”

The FDC became operational the 2nd of February 1981. Since then, it has been the goal of FDC to develop comprehensive policies responsive to local, national and global concerns toward the attainment of sustainable forestry and natural resources. The current policy and advocacy works of FDC involves forest certification, non-timber forest products, and sustainable forest management.
