Since our establishment in 1979, DFS has been dedicated to creating a positive impact on the world through our expertise in assisting local communities, forest owners, governmental and non-governmental organizations, and international institutions in designing and implementing their projects.

Our roots lie in forest sector development, including inventory, planning, and management. While we've diversified within the green sector, forests remain close to our heart.
