IMFN Landscape Approach

Model Forest Perspectives and Experiences on the Landscape Approach

On the global stage, the landscape approach has been gaining increasing attention with many institutions and financing mechanisms linking their work to landscapes, as is evidenced by the 2013 and 2014 Global Landscape Forums in Poland and Peru.The International Model Forest Network (IMFN) Secretariat is inviting a dialogue on what the landscape approach means to Model Forests, how it is applied and the tools we use to implement activities at a landscape scale. Your responses will help us identify, develop and strengthen links to other organizations involved in the landscape approach.

How long will it take me to answer this questionnaire?

This questionnaire will take about XX minutes to complete. The amount of time will vary from Model Forest to Model Forest due to differences in activities at each site. Some of the questions request that you briefly describe some activities. In this survey, it is sufficient to describe the activity in only 1-2 sentences with sufficient information to allow the IMFN Secretariat to identify whether there is a need to follow-up for additional information on the activity. Detailed descriptions are not required.

What is the deadline for submitting my answers?
Please submit your answers by January 30, 2015. Only one response per Model Forest is required.
