SEMINARIO VIRTUAL: Utilizando la plataforma Restor para su proyecto de restauración 10 de abril 2022
Corra la voz sobre su proyecto de restauración para conectarse con colaboradores, financiadores e información geo-relevante. La plataforma Restor (https://restor.eco/) puede ayudarlo con las tres funciones. Al incluir sus proyectos de restauración en esta plataforma, los miembros de la Sociedad Internacional de Forestales Tropicales (ISTF por sus siglas en inglés) y otros ganarán visibilidad de posibles colaboradores, así como de financiadores. Podrán explorar datos ecológicos específicos del sitio para la planificación y el monitoreo de sus proyectos. Restor, ISTF y Terraformation se están uniendo para ofrecer un webinar de capacitación (mismo contenido) en 4 ocasiones para diferentes regiones sobre cómo cargar su proyecto de restauración en la plataforma Restor.
Lunes 10 de abr de 2023 - America Latina (español) 23:00 GMT, 19:00 Puerto Rico, 20:00 este de Brasil, 16:00 oeste de México. Registrase en https://terraformation.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__3IKzxDQRPW7WRZSjn2TWQ

Calling all those involved in forests, energy and livelihoods!
A new multi-agency issue brief highlights the links between these sectors and the leap forward that could come from them working more closely together.
Do you work in forests, energy or livelihoods? Are you searching for ways to boost progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals?
If so, take a moment to look at this new FAO/IUFRO/UNDP/UNFF issue brief, Forests, Energy and Livelihoods<https://www.un.org/esa/forests/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/ISSUE-BRIEF-Fores…>, which neatly sums up the current state of play in these sectors and why they are inextricably linked. It explains why managing forests more sustainably brings huge benefits to all those who depend on wood for fuel or forest products for a livelihood. And calls for more joined up thinking across these sectors to accelerate progress towards SDGs on poverty, hunger and clean energy.
Now is the time to put heads together on this!
Join the global event on April 4 (10.00-13.00 EDT) on UN Web TV<https://media.un.org/en/webtv> and follow the discussion about integrated approaches across these sectors ahead of the 2023 SDG Summit at the UN General Assembly high-level week in September.
Make sure you are part of this. Read the issue brief<https://www.un.org/esa/forests/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/ISSUE-BRIEF-Fores…> and join the event<https://www.un.org/esa/forests/events/unff18-bureau-event-forests-energy-li…>.
See you there!

WEBINARS on using the Restor platform for your restoration project
You need to get the word out on your restoration project to connect with
collaborators, funders, and geo-relevant information. The Restor platform
can help you with all three functions. By listing their restoration
projects on the platform, ISTF members will gain visibility to both
potential collaborators and funders. They will be able to explore
site-specific ecological data for planning and monitoring of their
projects. Restor, the International Society of Tropical Foresters, and
Terraformation are teaming up to offer a training webinar (same content) on
4 occasions for different regions on how to load your restoration project
on the Restor platform. Dates and times (find your time zone at
https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html):

session you will attend. Also familiarize yourselves with the website. This
will allow us to devote the maximum time to helping you put your
restoration project on the platform.
NOTE: Please have a mouse available to use for the webinar practice
session. It is much easier to navigate the Restor platform with a mouse.

Dear Iufro colleagues,
On the occasion of the International Day of Forests on March 21st, a
group of forest scientists of the Forests and Societies Research Unit of
Cirad, thought it would be an opportunity to publish an opinion column
to recall the urgent need to conserve and to safeguard the tropical
forests. This opinion column will be published in the French online
newspaper Reporterre which has about 1.5 million readers per month.
Please take few minutes to read it and if you agree with the contents,
please sign it by filling the form available on this link:
https://forms.gle/r981va1BNEEz8yfC9
If you want to sign the form, please do it before *March 13th, Midnight
CET.*
By signing this paper you are signing as an individual but you can also
indicate your institution. The list of signatories and their institution
(if you indicate it) will also be published on the Reporterre website
with the paper.
The original text is in French but I attached an English version of it
for the non French speakers.
We hope that this opinion paper will reach a large public and will be
of interest for others medias. With this, we hope that we will be able
to increase our visibility and get opportunities to talk further about
the urgency in saving the tropical forests.
Please do not hesitate to disseminate this message to your scientists
and students networks.
cheers
