FERN is a non-governmental organisation (NGO) created in 1995. Our mission is to achieve greater environmental and social justice, focusing on forests and forest peoples’ rights in the policies and practices of the European Union. We do this by co-ordinating NGO networks and by working co-operatively with partners to achieve change. We believe that to be effective it is essential to understand and address the social dimension of environmental conflicts; that strong coalitions are more likely to achieve lasting change; and that presenting ways forward is often more effective than highlighting problems. We have no director, and strive to make decisions by consensus. Details of our current campaign areas can be found at www.fern.org/campaignareas.html. We currently have 13 staff working from two offices, in Brussels (Belgium) and Moreton in Marsh (UK). We are looking for a strong campaigner to join our Forest Governance campaign team. The position will be based in the Brussels office. A: TERMS OF REFERENCE Main responsibilityDeveloping and implementing FERN’s Forest Governance Campaign with a specific focus on the Congo Basin.
