Since its establishment in 2012, the Civil Society Organizations (CSO) Forum on Social Forestry in ASEAN has served as a platform for local communities, indigenous people’s organizations, and civil society organizations to consolidate and elevate key messages to the members of the ASEAN states through the ASEAN Working Group on Social Forestry (AWG-SF).

Today, over 50 participants representing representing 40 organizations from 8 countries in Southeast Asia are actively engaged in the forum.
