Colleagues! Scientists! Forest research projects are often carried out without the public knowing much about them. If you think that your research project deserves more attention than that, here is your chance: showcase your research work in the blog competition of the XXIV World Forestry Congress! By submitting a blogpost you can help to significantly boost awareness, engagement and investments in forestry in general and on one of the six Congress sub-themes in particular: * Forests for socioeconomic development and food security * Building resilience with forests * Integrating forests and other land uses * Encouraging product innovation and sustainable trade * Monitoring forests for better decision-making * Improving governance by building capacity The blog competition closes on July 31 midnight CET.
