The Asia Pacific Association of Forestry Research Institutions (APAFRI) is an association of institutions with an active interest in forestry research, conservation, management and other forestry related matters in the Asia Pacific region.

The establishment of APAFRI was prompted by the need to provide a viable institutional framework for research collaboration in the region. After some initial discussions during a seminar in Kuala Lumpur, January 1992, a draft constitution was prepared, and subsequently revised and adopted during the meeting of Heads of Forestry Research

Organizations in the Asia Pacific in Bogor, Indonesia, on 21 February 1995. APAFRI was officially launched then, and currently it has 66 institutional members and 10 individual members.
