The Montréal Process Working Group brings together, in common purpose,
twelve countries from the southern and northern hemispheres:
- Argentina
- Australia
- Canada
- Chile
- China
- Japan
- Republic of Korea
- Mexico
- New Zealand
- Russian Federation
- United States of America
- Uruguay
The member countries
occur in five of the seven continents and together represent about
90 per cent of the world's temperate and boreal forests, as well
as areas of tropical forests, and 60 per cent of the world's forests.
The group works, through a policy level Working Group and a Technical
Advisory Committee, to advance the development and implementation
of internationally agreed criteria and indicators for the conservation
and sustainable management of temperate and boreal forests (outside
Europe) at the national level.
