International Forestry Students' Association

The International Forestry Students’ Association (IFSA) is an international network of students in forestry-related sciences. It is a globally organized and locally operated student organisation connecting forest and related science students to peers, forest-related organisations, and policy platforms. The IFSA has 130 member associations (known as "local committees") in over 50 countries. IFSA is a non-political, non-profit, and non-religious organisation that is entirely run by students.

IFSA promotes global cooperation among students of forest sciences and provides a voice for youth in international forest policy processes. IFSA provides a platform for students to enrich their formal education, promote cultural understanding by encouraging collaboration with international partners and organisations, and gain practical experiences with a wider and more global perspective. Through its social network, IFSA encourages student meetings, enables participation in scientific debates, and supports the involvement of youth in decision-making processes and international forest and environmental policy.

IFSA is officially registered as a charity organisation, with its seat in Freiburg, Germany.
