IUFRO Task Forces are established on a temporary basis to advance inter-disciplinary cooperation in inter-divisional forest research fields. Their focus is on emerging key issues that are of strong interests to policy makers and groups inside and outside the forest sector, and contribute to international processes and activities.
During the IUFRO Board Meeting held in Salt Lake City in October 2014, a number of Principles were agreed upon as a basis for the establishment of Task Forces during the current IUFRO term. In the view of the IUFRO Management Committee, the number of Task Forces to be convened during a given year may be up to ten, but in order to encourage activities across the full spectrum of IUFRO's disciplinary expertise, shorter-term, more tightly focused Task Forces are encouraged. This will enable IUFRO to establish new Task Forces on a periodic basis throughout the 2015-2019 Term to take advantage of emerging needs and opportunities.
SELECTION CRITERIA
Proposals for new Task Forces will be evaluated by the Management Committee based on the following criteria:
• Contribution to implementation of the IUFRO Strategy 2015-2019;
• Potential to strengthen cross-Divisional interaction on specific topics of global relevance related to one or more Emphasis Areas and/or Institutional Goals of the IUFRO Strategy 2015-2019 (for details see <http://www.iufro.org/discover/strategy/#c10578> http://www.iufro.org/discover/strategy/#c10578)
• Engagement of two or more Divisions by specifically involving relevant Divisional units (Research Groups and/or Working Parties) - proposal should be jointly developed with the relevant IUFRO Divisions and their units, but may involve additional experts currently outside of the IUFRO network and partner institutions, as required. Task Force activities should not undercut current work within IUFRO Divisions, but rather complement and expand their activities;
• Specific contribution of the proposed Task Force to addressing broader policy processes or interdisciplinary science-policy initiatives; e.g., Future Earth (1) , Intergovernmental Platform for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), etc.;
• In case partner institutions are involved, brief justification for their involvement;
• Clarity of timelines for proposed Task Force activities and their deliverables; while Task Forces can be proposed for up to the full length of the current IUFRO term (until the 2019 World Congress in Brazil), it is highly recommended that proposed Task Forces consider more focused activities to be undertaken over a much shorter time period (i.e., 1-2 years);
• Selection of Task Force members in a way that they reflect required scientific expertise, diversity, balance between North/South, natural and social sciences, and gender;
• Clarity of operational aspects (roles and responsibilities of Task Force coordinator and members, roles and responsibilities of partners involved, if any), budget for activities and funding sources.
Proposals are now being accepted for new Task Forces that would begin their work in early 2015. Please refer to the format (outlined below) when preparing your proposals. The deadline for submission of proposals is January 15th, 2015. All proposals will be reviewed by the Vice-President for Task Forces in consultation with other members of the IUFRO Management Committee and the Coordinators of IUFRO Divisions relevant to each proposal. Decisions on the establishment of new Task Forces will be made and communicated to the proposed Task Force coordinators by the end of February. The coordinators of new Task Forces will be invited to participate in the upcoming IUFRO Board meeting to be held in Vienna from April 15-17, 2015.
FORMAT FOR TASK FORCE PROPOSALS
Note: Proposals should include the following as concisely as possible, within 3-5 pages.
• Name of proposed Task Force
• Name of proposed Task Force coordinator, affiliation (including IUFRO position) and contact information
• Names of proposed Task Force members, their affiliations (including IUFRO positions) and contact information
Brief overview of the rationale, goals, and objectives of the proposed Task Force (1 paragraph)
• Description of specific proposed Task Force activities, deliverables and timelines. This should include planned focused meetings with tangible outputs such as 'state-of-knowledge' reviews, journal papers, dedicated volumes, etc.
• Budget table listing major activities and funding sources, if known – indicate if these funds are already secured.
• Narrative addressing the following:
- Contribution to implementation of the IUFRO 2015-2019 Strategy;
- How the proposed Task Force will strengthen cross-Divisional interaction on specified topics related to IUFRO 2015-2019 Strategy's Emphasis Areas and/or Institutional Goals , and how the Task Force will complement and/or expand activities of existing IUFRO Divisional units;
- Specific contribution of the proposed Task Force to addressing broader policy processes or interdisciplinary science-policy initiatives.
The deadline for submission of proposals is January 15th, 2015. Proposals should be sent to John Parrotta ( <mailto:jparrotta@fs.fed.us> jparrotta(a)fs.fed.us) with a copy to Renate Prüller ( <mailto:prueller@iufro.org> prueller(a)iufro.org)

Dear Colleagues,
Attached is the third circular for our upcoming IUFRO-sponsored 2nd Restoring Forests Congress to be held 14-16 October 2014 in Lafayette, Indiana USA (Purdue University). The deadline for abstracts for volunteer oral and poster presentations is July 1.
The 1st Restoring Forests Congress was held in September 2011 in Madrid, Spain and attended by > 100 scientists representing 17 countries. A double special issue of New Forests (http://link.springer.com/journal/11056/43/5/page/1) was produced from the 1st Congress. The theme of the 2nd Congress is "What constitutes success in the 21st Century?". We will examine the continued evolution of the scope of forest restoration and re-explore the need to set realistic goals to achieve restoration success. Field tours will highlight the ongoing forest restoration research of the Hardwood Tree Improvement and Regeneration Center (http://www.htirc.org<http://www.htirc.org/>) at Purdue University, featuring especially the role of genetics in ecological restoration.
Selected papers from the congress will once again be published in a special issue of New Forests. Please consider participating in the conference and forward this message to your colleagues, encouraging them to attend. Updated information can be found at the conference website: https://www.purdue.edu/fnrrf/

Dear Colleagues:
Please consider submitting an abstract for an oral or poster presentation
for the IUFRO 2014 World Congress Session #219 – How does biodiversity help
to manage high-value timbers and vice versa?
Organizers: Sheila Ward (Mahogany for the Future, Inc, Puerto Rico),
Emmanuel Opuni-Frimpong (Forest Research Institute of Ghana), & Nicholas
Brokaw (University of Puerto Rico)

*This session will explore diverse means by which a biodiverse environment
positively impacts management of high-value timber species, and,
conversely, how management for high-value species helps conserve
biodiversity.*
Conservation of biodiversity and management for high-value timber species
can seem a contradiction. Nevertheless, the demand for these timbers will
remain high, as well as an increasing need and demand for management to
conserve biodiversity. Needed are ways forward to integrate these
management objectives. Management of high-value timber species may help
conserve both the target species and the biodiversity of the forests they
inhabit. Conversely, biodiversity may contribute to the health of
individual trees and populations of high-value species.
We aim for a global scope, including tropical and temperate high-value
timbers. Presentations might address: biodiversity and protection of
high-value species from pests and pathogens, the role of plantations in
biodiversity conservation, biodiversity for plantation health, enrichment
planting with high value species to maintain biodiversity via intact forest
instead of land use change, high-value species and the maintenance of
intact forests, use of high value species for habitat rehabilitation and
restoration of biodiversity, or high-value plantations as a means to
reestablish biodiversity, among other topics. How might more land area
devoted to high-value timber in natural forest as well as plantations may
help maintain biodiversity and associated ecosystem services? Conversely,
how might more intact ecosystems, as indicated by biodiversity, may help in
the sustainable production of high-value species?
If this is of interest, can you let me know by October 3? Guidelines and
the page for abstract submission can be found at

Sheila Ward

Register early
Registration for the World Congress on Agroforestry 2014 (WCA2014) has been open for several months, and will continue almost up to the date of the Congress. However, ‘early bird’ registration, offering a substantial saving, will close on 15 November 2013. Sign up here <http://worldagroforestry.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9cb21f8b9d12b672…> .
What is it?
The World Agroforestry Centre and the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, together with the Indian Society of Agroforestry and Global Initiatives, will hold the Congress in Delhi, India 10-14 February 2014.
The Congress, entitled ‘Trees for Life: Accelerating the Impacts of Agroforestry’, will draw over 1200 selected participants from the private, research and development sectors to share the current state of knowledge and accelerate the positive financial, environmental and social impacts of agroforestry.
Make a contribution
A more important date is the deadline to submit abstracts. Slots to present papers and take part in discussion sessions are filling up fast, and time is running out. The deadline for submissions is 30 September 2013, so you only have a little over two more weeks. Submit abstracts of papers and posters here <http://worldagroforestry.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9cb21f8b9d12b672…> .
Abstracts submitted for the Congress will be evaluated and accepted for one of the following options:
* Oral presentation (in some form) in relevant sessions
* Presentation as a poster
* Suitability for the congress compendium
All abstracts selected will be included in the congress compendium.
A dynamic agenda
The Congress has a number of themes. The first day features presentations on Indian topics related to agroforestry. The second part deals with business and agroforestry, third is a consideration of development and agroforestry, and fourth is a review of scientific breakthroughs and innovation. The final day looks at the integration of science, business and development, with keynote speakers and a panel discussion, and a plenary discussion of the outcomes. The full list of themes is:
* Agroforestry systems, income and environmental benefits
* Climate change, multi-functionality, livestock and fish systems
(These two with an orientation towards India)
* The business of agroforestry: applying science
* Sustaining development through agroforestry
* Applying science to the future of agroforestry: breakthroughs and innovation
* Policy, innovation and global issues.
The agenda <http://worldagroforestry.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9cb21f8b9d12b67…> is structured to generate outputs that produce a global roadmap for agroforestry in the context of world development and create a deliberate and tangible legacy in terms of recognition, partnership, investment and impact.
