Dear members of the IUFRO Division 1 List,
I am a PhD student from Bocconi University, member of the UNFF Children and Youth Major Group.
Together with Prof. Valentina Bosetti, a lead author of the Fifth IPCC Report, I am working on a research project on deforestation.
To carry out our research we have constructed a survey:
https://unibocconi.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9SrYlUWHcKVTijr
If you have 8 minutes to complete it, it would give a significant contribution to our research and to my work for my PhD dissertation.
Participants can win $100 Amazon gift cards.
Forest experts from a wide array of countries and organizations have already completed this survey, and having your perspective would be really valuable to us.
The aim of our research project is to investigate how different actors perceive, conceptualize and frame the problem of deforestation, the different strategies to address it, and the related challenges.
We will gather the data only for research purposes and all data will be kept confidential.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Best regards,
Silvia Pianta

Call for Participation in the 4th International Congress on Planted Forests
The International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO), in
partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
(FAO) and the State Forestry and Grassland Administration of China (SFGA),
is convening the 4th International Congress on Planted Forests at the China
National Convention Centre (CNCC), Beijing, China on October 23-25, 2018,

for the conservation planted forests in North China and one for the
industrial planted forests in South China. The Congress is organized by the
Chinese Academy of Forestry (CAF), the national research institution on
forestry in China.
The 4th International Congress on Planted Forests aims to investigate the
contribution of planted forests to green development in the context of
global changes. Topics include the sustainability of planted forests in the
context of changing climates and the future role of planted forests in
bio-resources sustainability, environmental protection and green
development. The Congress will also be a space of interface between
scientific communities, wider society and government policy initiatives
related to planted forests.
The 4th International Congress on Planted Forests will arrange 2 plenary
keynote presentations, 8 sub-plenary invited presentations, around 40
parallel technical sessions with around 240 oral presentations as well as
quite a number of poster presentations.
The 4th International Congress on Planted Forests is calling for submission
of session proposals and abstracts, as well as registration for
