Directions
The strategic plan was developed taking into account the responsibilities
set out under the Agreement. Four strategic orientations were
therefore retained for the next five years:
| 1. |

| 2. |
The Board gives itself the means and tools needed to oversee and evaluate compliance with the Agreement and the implementation of an adapted forestry regime. It also establishes the means necessary to monitor the evolution of the forest. |
| 3. |
The Board sees to evaluate the needs and relevant information required in order to fulfill its responsibilities and those of Joint Working Groups members, and to take action accordingly. |
| 4. |
The Board meets with to the stakeholders, explains its mandate, communicates information and intervenes, if required, by building consensus with the stakeholders that the Agreement concerns. |
These orientations also guided the preparation of an action

of being implemented.
