The Asia-Pacific Network for Sustainable Forest Management and Rehabilitation (APFNet) Centre for young scholars is now open. 
In 2019, the Sino-ASEAN Network of Forestry Research Institutes (SANFRI), initiated by APFNet, launched a Visiting Scholar Programme at the Yunnan Academy of Forestry and Grasslands, hosting ten scholars from four ASEAN economies to conduct research programmes in Yunnan.
Co-constructed by APFNet and the Yunnan Academy of Forestry and Grasslands, the Centre will provide excellent learning and research facilities; and accommodation for young forestry scholars in the Asia-Pacific region. The Centre is located at the Yunnan Academy and includes offices, a library, multimedia auditoria and guest rooms.
