About [Edit]
The Forest and Nature Conservation Policy Group (FNP) focuses on policy, governance and management with regard to forests, biodiversity and nature. The research and teaching activities aim at providing insights in the dynamics of private and public decision-making on these issues, at different scales (from the local to the global) and in different places (tropics and non-tropics). Central departure is the notion that decision-making is shaped by multiple stakeholders as well as by institutional arrangements (rules of the game and roles of conduct) and societal discourses (the way groups apprehend and communicate reality). Examples of current research themes are: (1) time and uncertainty in forest planning, (2) forest and nature discourses in society (3) decentralization of forest policy, (4) new modes of governance in forest and nature conservation and (5) sustainable forest managements
