        Forest Programme

        Solutions to the problems of deforestation and loss of forest biodiversity depend on accurate, up-to-date and accessible information. WCMC's Forest Programme exists to meet this demand, in collaboration with other conservation and development agencies world-wide. Achievements of the Forest Programme, in collaboration with IUCN and CIFOR, include the development of the Biodiversity Map Library, the first global digital map of tropical moist forests, and publication of The Conservation Atlas of Tropical Forests and a CD-ROM containing tropical moist forest and protected area data.
