Staff
FPP employs a multi-disciplinary team with expertise in land
rights, environment and development and indigenous affairs
with high-level qualifications in social anthropology, human
rights law, tropical forest ecology and environmental science.
The team has longstanding and extensive experience working
directly with indigenous peoples and forests in all corners
of the globe.
Charitable status
Forest Peoples Programme (FPP)
is a non-governmental human rights organisation, founded in
1990 as a Dutch Stichting. In 1999 it registered part of its
work as a UK-registered charitable arm, called the Forest
Peoples Project. This was because at that time some of the
activities of the organisation fell outside the UK Charity
Commission remit. Following the passing of the UK Charities
Act 2006 and new definitions of charitable activities, all
the work of the Forest Peoples Programme now falls within
the UK charitable rules and regulations. Therefore, the FPP
board officially changed the name of the charitable arm to
Forest Peoples Programme. This took effect in June 2008.
Forest Peoples Programme -
which is now both a UK-registered charity and a Dutch Stichting
- encompasses all our work.
