Betreff: Call for papers
Dear Colleagues,
The IUFRO Units 4.04.04 'Sustainable Forest Management Scheduling' and 4.04.06 'Nature Conservation Planning' are sponsoring a Special Issue on Decision Support for Integrated Policy Analysis to be published in Forest Policy and Economics (http://www.journals.elsevier.com/forest-policy-and-economics <http://www.mdpi.com/journal/sustainability> ).
This Special Issue originates from an initiative of Working Group 2 “Forestry modelling for integrated policy analysis” of COST Action FP1207 “Orchestrating forest-related policy analysis in Europe (ORCHESTRA)". It addresses a topic that is relevant to the five themes of the IUFRO 2015-2019 Strategy and that is transversal to Divisions 3, 4, 6 and 9.
We welcome the submission of manuscripts reporting research of models, methods and/or decision support systems (DSS) that account for forest-related policy analysis at multiple levels and its application in real case studies. As currently, little information is available about decision support tools used for forest policy development, a special focus should be on the information provided by different types of decision support tools at different scales and on the benefits and limitations/challenges of the approaches presented. Particular attention should be paid to forest-related policy fields such as biodiversity, climate change, bioenergy, trade and green economy.
The deadline for manuscript submission: 30 September 2016

Sorry for any crossposting. Please disseminate this information to whomever you think might be interested.
Thank you.

Colleagues,
Division 3 Coordinator Woodam Chung has created a series of podcasts on topics relevant to Division 3.
So far, 10 episodes have been published, the lastest two on an "Interdisciplinary Approach to Forest Supply Chain Management – Graduate Research Projects at Laval University", in which five graduate students at Laval University in Canada introduce their ongoing research projects in forest supply chain management. Their innovative research takes interdisciplinary approaches and leverages the FORAC’s well-established collaboration with forest industries.
Others episodes deal with Forestry and Forest Education from Students' Perspective and Forest Operations in Mountainous Conditions.
Listen to the podcasts on http://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-3/30000/podcasts/!

Dear Colleagues,
It is our great pleasure to announce that the Joint International Congress entitled “SUSTAINABLE RESTORATION OF MEDITERRANEAN FORESTS - Analysis and perspective within the context of bio-based economy development under global changes” will be held in Palermo (Italy), 19 – 21 April 2017.
It is known worldwide that conservation and sustainable management of forests plays a pivotal role in the green economy of present and future generations. It is for this reason that the achievement of an improved knowledge of how to adapt forest and forests landscapes to the challenges posed by climate and social changes must become the first goal for all researchers and stakeholder active in this important sector of any national economies.
Because of Palermo latitudinal position in Sicily, the period of the year chosen for holding the congress is normally the best period of the year in terms of climate and vegetation life-time. Therefore we are sure that there will be outstanding social events, good opportunities to establish new collaborations among participants, and relaxed discussion in addition to a fabulous post-congress excursion.
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we kindly invite you to Palermo International Congress in April 2017, ITALY.

Dear Colleagues
We have submitted the proposal entitled Ecosystem services and the well-being of forest-dependent communities: enhancing social innovation and building resilience to global changes in remote rural areas. Could I please kindly ask you to slightly amend the title by saying 'marginalised rural areas' instead of 'remote'?
The proposed session, if accepted, will largely be based on the forestry component of our new H2020 project coordinated by me fom the James Hutton Institute. It is on Social Innovation in Marginalised Rural Areas (SIMRA). I am providing the following media link to the piece of info reflecting on it http://www.hutton.ac.uk/news/social-innovation-promote-rural-growth-across-… Thank you for incorporating the amendment into the title of our proposal.
With best wishes, Maria and Mariana

Between Tradition and Increasing Challenges: Future Development of Small-scale and Community Forestry in Times of Global Change
Foz do Iguacu, Brazil // 26 September 2016 — 29 September 2016
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a joint and co-hosted meeting of three IUFRO groups (3.08.00, 9.03.00 and 9.05.06) close to the border between Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay at Foz do Iguacu. The conference will provide a unique opportunity to bring together researchers from all over the world to share evidence-based knowledge on small-scale and community forestry issues in Latin America, including the ecological, institutional and anthropogenic factors influencing the management and evolution of forests and forest landscapes. As traditional knowledge plays a substantial role in both small-scale and community forest ownership models, the integration of a historical dimension will provide an additional source of information in order to interpret and understand the challenges and constraints related to global change.
Participants are encouraged to submit their abstracts for oral or poster presentation. Abstracts are due by June 15, 2016 (second call). Abstracts should not exceed 300 words and should outline the aims and contents of the presentation. The abstract submission format is available for download at the conference website: http://www.latinoamericajointiufromeeting.com/. Please send your abstract to: mgabay(a)ambiente.gob.ar and communityforestry.iufro(a)gmail.com.
Please note also that registration is now open at http://www.latinoamericajointiufromeeting.com/registration/!
