Colleagues,
The IUFRO All-Division 5 Conference is held every 5 years. It is an apolitical, international forum open to all nations, for conduct of the Division’s business, and for exchange of scientific, professional and technical information on forest products related subjects consistent with the Division's structure.
Division 5 is currently soliciting bids for the 2017 All-Division 5 conference. If you and your institution are willing to host this conference, please visit the Guidelines and Bidding Rules at http://www.iufro.org/download/file/9492/2068/all-d5-2017-guidelines-bidding… for further details.
Please note that the deadline for the submission of bids is 28 February 2014!
We are hoping for and looking forward to receiving many outstanding bids!

Betreff: Reminder to IUFRO embership to submit the bid to host the next D5 conference set for 2017?
Hi Brigitte,
D5 is concerned that there may still be other IUFRO member organisations who have overlooked that there is a call for bids to host the 2017 D5 conference. The closing date is 28 February 2014. We are encouraging as many bids as possible. Re-attach is the same updated guidelines for submitting a bid. Could we ask IUFRO HQ to please remind the IUFRO global membership about this soonest possible?
Much appreciated.
Cheers,
Andrew

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
http://iufro2014.com/scientific-program/abstract-submissions/.
Thanks,
Sheila Ward
