Organisation profile
The Birmingham Institute of Forest Research (BIFoR) is a virtual institute of over 100 academics, primarily from the schools of Geography Earth and Environmental Sciences and Biosciences but also including members from Mathematics, Engineering, the Business School, International Development, Psychology, English, and elsewhere.
Whilst known for its world class research woodland in central England (the BIFoR FACE facility) research from the Institute stretches much wider than that. Indeed, BIFoR aims to provide fundamental science, social science, and cultural research of direct relevance to forested landscapes anywhere in the world. The Institute aims to make the evidence-based case for forests as part of one-planet living.
UN Sustainable Development Goals
In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. Our work contributes towards the following SDG(s):
