FRO_FLR_Policy_Study-cover_39715b07a1.jpgThe time is now to make forest
restoration (FLR) at scale a success. This study seeks to better understand
enabling governance and economic factors that can inform FLR implementation,
based on sound evidence gathered from diverse contexts.
Enabling Factors to Scale Up Forest Landscape Restoration: The Roles of
Governance and Economics. Full Report with Case Studies
Published by WWF-Germany, November 2020
Author: Stephanie Mansourian, environmental consultant and Deputy
Coordinator of the IUFRO Task Force on Transforming Forest Landscapes for
Future Climates and Human Well-Being
WWF and IUFRO have come together to push the forest restoration agenda
forward using our combined scientific, policy and field implementation
expertise. Both of our organizations have been exploring lessons learned in
FLR (IUFRO FLR Snapshot and WWF FLR Field Experiences) to understand what
works and what doesn't as a basis for informing future implementation.
The purpose of this report is to identify the enabling factors at the
national or subnational scale (including specifically governance and
economic factors) that have motivated the initiation of forest restoration,
that have enabled its implementation at scale, and that are key to
sustaining it.
It reviews case studies of 10 locations that have scaled up forest
restoration (Bhutan, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Georgia, Kenya,
Madagascar, Viet Nam, the Great Green Wall for the Sahara and Sahel, and
Brazil's Espírito Santo State) in order to identify possible enabling
factors related to governance and economics and thereby to guide future FLR
interventions.

Extended deadline for special issue on forest restoration in the journal
Forest Ecology and Management: 31st of December 2020
Open Call: Active restoration of timber production and other ecosystem
services in secondary and degraded forest.
Extended deadline: 31st of December 2020
Dear Colleagues
I am writing to inform that I am editing a special issue (SI) of Forest
Ecology and Management, entitled "Active restoration of timber production
and other ecosystem services in secondary and degraded forest". From your
research focus, I feel that you may contribute to this special issue.
Forest Ecology and Management is a peer reviewed journal that publishes
scientific articles linking forest ecology with forest management. 2019
IF: 3.170. 5-year IF: 3.581. Website:
<https://www.journals.elsevier.com/forest-ecology-and-management>
https://www.journals.elsevier.com/forest-ecology-and-management
The Open call of the SI is located at:
<https://www.journals.elsevier.com/forest-ecology-and-management/call-for-pa
pers/open-call-active-restoration-of-timber-production>
https://www.journals.elsevier.com/forest-ecology-and-management/call-for-pap
ers/open-call-active-restoration-of-timber-production
The submission portal is now open (from the 1st of September), and until the
31st of December 2020.
All submissions will go through the normal FEM review process. The handling
editor of this SI is Cindy Prescott ( <mailto:Cindy.Prescott@ubc.ca>
Cindy.Prescott(a)ubc.ca); the guest editors are Plinio Sist, Bryan Finegan and

The IUFRO 3.01.02 Road engineering and management working group is hosting a bimonthly seminar series starting in September 29, 2020. The series will give an introduction to the design and construction of forest roads as relates to different regions around the world. We believe this seminar series will provide an interesting contrast of the design and construction of forest roads between the different regions of the world. The series will highlight where there are differences and similarities, and where these can be attributed to factors such as geology and climate. The speaker list includes

Dear IUFRO D3 Community members,
I am pleased to announce to you a new Special Issue "Forest Operations on
Sloping Land: Operating, Environmental and Safety Constraints" runned by
Forests journal.
You are kindly invited to contribute developing new ideas and research
directions on such important topic.
*Special Issue: Forest Operations on Sloping Land: Operating, Environmental
and Safety Constraints*
*Journal*: *Forests *
*Guest Editors*: *Prof. Dr. Raffaele Cavalli*, Department of Land,
Environment, Agriculture and Forestry TESAF, University of Padova, Padova,
Italy
*Dr. Andrew McEwan*, Forestry and Wood Technology, Nelson Mandela
University, Port Elizabeth, South Africa
Forest operations often need to take place on steep slopes. This is due to
flatter land often being used for alternative land use, such as
agriculture. Operating on steep slopes presents technology and management
challenges. Harvesting machines and systems are subjected to harsher
working conditions that affect machine reliability, resulting in mechanical
breakdowns, and can also reduce machine productivity due to the need to
overcome gravity during uphill operations and the need for slower
operations when working on side slopes or down steep slopes, which affects
machine stability. Human manoeuvrability can also increase the safety risk
as machines can roll over and ground-based workers can struggle to carry
out manual work safely. Environmental damage can also be a consequence, as
harvesting machines can disturb soil, which can result in site erosion.
Therefore, the correct technology must be applied according to the slope
and soil conditions, and it needs to be operated according to good
practice. This requires good planning as well as well trained and motivated
employees. New technology can allow for forest operations to be cost
effectively carried out on steep slopes while also minimising environmental
impacts and reducing safety risks.
