Mission Forest Trends' mission is to maintain and restore forest ecosystems by promoting incentives that diversify trade in the forest sector from dominance in wood products to a broader range of services and products. Forest Trends objectives are to accelerate the evolution of economic systems in which: Commerce sustains forest ecosystem services (i.e., watershed protection, biodiversity) Companies that manage forest ecosystems in a sustainable fashion receive market recognition, and An equitable share of the benefits generated from forest-based commerce is returned to local communities To this end, Forest Trends has organized its work around three goals that also serve as the structure for our program work . Accelerating the development of markets for forest ecosystem services; Expanding markets and investments that encourage improved forest management and increased transparency and due diligence in forest trade and investment Promoting markets and investments that improve livelihoods of forest communities
