Faces of AFRC

The Faces of AFRC is a new initiative aiming to provide a channel to re-connect with our programs’ past participants, highlight their learning/working experiences and achievements, and offer networking, mentorship, and educational leadership opportunities in the Asia Pacific region. We believe in the power of knowledge sharing and active communication in the forestry community, especially during these challenging times caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
