Experiences with Adaptive Measures in Forestry and Forest Restoration under Global Change - Survey

by Brigitte Burger

Colleagues, The members of the Task Force "Forest Adaptation and Restoration under Global Change" of the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) are conducting a survey to gain data and insights for developing best practice approaches for forest adaptation and restoration under global change. This survey relies on the knowledge of experts/professionals from forestry and related fields and their information about actual examples of Adaptive Measures in Forestry and Forest Restoration. The collected data will contribute valuable information to a study of the local and regional experiences with Adaptive Forest Management (AFM) and Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) under climate- and societal change with the aim to increase the adaptive capacity of forests and forest landscapes with regards to those changes. If you are working or have experience in this field, please participate in this survey. You can choose among 13 languages. It will take approximately 15-20 minutes to fill in the survey. For any remarks to the survey (content and technical aspects), please contact directly Markus Hoehl ( <javascript:linkTo_UnCryptMailto('ocknvq,octmwu0jqgjnBvjwgpgp0fg');> markus.hoehl(at)thuenen.de). Please support the Task Force - Forest Adaptation and Restoration under Global Change (Coordinator: Andreas Bolte, Markus Höhl, Survey admin; both Thuenen Institute) in expanding our common knowledge base on these very current and important topics! https://gdi.thuenen.de/wo/limesurvey/index.php/883655 We would like to thank you in advance for your time and consideration! ************************** Posted on behalf of the Task Force by Brigitte Burger, IUFRO Headquarters

Forest Experts Survey for PhD Dissertation - 8 minutes - With Amazon Gift Cards Lottery

by SILVIA PIANTA

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 VSRC - Princeton University PhD Student in Public Policy Bocconi University +1 2037729976 +39 0258362501
