Centre for People's Forestry is a civil society organisation in India, established in August 2002. CPF works for the rights and livelihoods of forest-dependent communities with due regard to conservation. It believes that the claim to conservation, control and management of the forest resources belong to the forest-dwelling and dependent communities and their livelihoods should be the primary concern of all forestry programmes.
