Forest policy and sustainable forest management
Forests secure people's livelihoods; they are source of income and a land reserve. On this background we support our partners in introducing sustainable forest management as a development strategy and in positioning forest-related interests in the national, regional and international context.

Combating Desertification
Drylands cover around 40 per cent of the Earth's land surface. Through its measures to combat desertification, GTZ opens up new options fort the inhabitants of drylands. We help partner countries that have signed the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification to use it as a strategic framework for resource management and sustainable development.

Biological diversity
Conserving the diversity of ecosystems, genes, and plant and animal species is one of the major challenges worldwide. We help our partner countries implement the objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity. To this end sustainable strategies for the conservation of biodiversity must be developed, which promote economic development without endangering biological diversity.
