44. The International Model Forest Network has grown from its origins in 1992 to include 19 international model forests, 9 of which are in developing countries and countries with economies in transition. A number of international donor agencies, institutions and intergovernmental organizations/non-governmental organizations are supporting a range of activities at local and regional levels. At the World Summit on Sustainable Development, the Governments of Canada, Chile and Argentina as well as UNDP launched a regional model forest centre for Latin America and the Caribbean. The centre is based in Santiago, Chile, and is expected to promote and strengthen sustainable forest management and sustainable development in the region; document and demonstrate best practices for sustainable forest management and sustainable economic development for local communities; strengthen the transfer of technology from Canada to the region; and secure additional partners and donors.
