CIFOR has made a preliminary analysis of new satellite imagery for the area in Riau Province, Sumatra, which appears to have been worst affected by recent fires causing haze problems over Sumatra, Singapore and Malaysia.
CIFOR has produced a new set of ‘best practice guidelines’ to be used to inform policy makers on how to balance competing pressures on land while protecting forests and biodiversity. The new guidelines were taken into consideration by UN research.
CIFOR has launched a new partnership with the China National Forestry Economics and Development Research Center to improve the monitoring and evaluation of the ‘Conversion of Cropland to Forest Program’ (CCFP) or ‘Grain for Green’.
Under the supervision of the Project Systems Manager, the Project Management Support Officer will provide effective and efficient administrative support for and monitoring of CIFOR’s project management systems and databases.
