Just Forests is a voluntary organisation founded in September 1989, in response to concern about global deforestation and wood wastage. Just Forests supports the concept of sustainable development and the wise use of natural resources - in particular wood.

Through 'development education' and other awareness-raising projects, Just Forests endeavour to influence Governments and the Corporate sector of the need for a sensible and balanced approach to forest utilisation and wood usage. As a member of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), Just Forests also tries to influence the wood consumer of the need to purchase wood from well-managed forests, thereby contributing to sustainable forest development and ensuring the healthy survival of the world's forests, their inhabitants and the international timber trade.
