Forest thematic report
This thematic report on LIFE and Forests looks into the contribution of the LIFE+ Programme to the implementation and further development of EU forest policies and legislation. The report is based upon a LIFE database that covers a total of 134 forestrelated projects that started between 2006 and 2013 and that cover a broad range of topics, sectors, policies as well as LIFE strands (ENV, NAT, BIO, INF). The aim of this report is to give insight into the diversity of the LIFE+ forest projects, analyse revealing trends and evaluate their overall importance and relevance with regards to the EU forest policy context.
