Profile

The National Forestry Cooperatives Federation (NFCF, Korean: 산림조합) is the national federation of Korea's forestry cooperatives, originally organised in 1962, headquartered in Seoul. Its mission is to safeguard the rights and interests of forest owners and members and to promote sustainable forestry, and it has long been involved in Korea's afforestation and forest-restoration work, branding itself externally as 'Sanlim Johap' (Forestry Cooperative). The federation is a member of ICA's Asia-Pacific region.
