These demands are being expressed with increasing intensity and are reflected in new political realities. The transitions have created a markedly different world compared to the turn of the millennium and even since the completion of the Asia-Pacific Forest Sector Outlook Study in 2010; thus the landscape that forestry operates in is both new and rapidly evolving. Meeting the challenge of managing forests and forestr y through these transitions and the risks they entail – including ensuring that forestry proactively contributes to shaping change – will require sound strategic thinking, wise investment and broad cooperation, among stakeholders and at international levels.
