WANGARI MAATHAI "FOREST CHAMPIONS" AWARD - ANNOUNCEMENT OF 2019 AWARDS
You are invited to nominate a candidate for the 2019 CPF Wangari Maathai
"Forest Champions" Award by 10 May! This is a unique opportunity to
acknowledge an inspiring individual who has improved our forests and the
lives of people that depend on them.
The Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF) is awarding one extraordinary
individual for improving our forests and the lives of people who depend on
them!
The CPF launched the first Wangari Maathai Award in 2012 to honour and
commemorate the impact of this extraordinary woman who championed forest
issues around the world. In 2019, the CPF will award another individual for
her/his outstanding achievements for forests.
The awardee will receive a cash prize of USD20,000 along with international
recognition of the outstanding contributions to preserve, restore and
sustainably manage forests and to raise awareness of the key role forests
play in supporting local communities, rural livelihoods, women, youth and
the environment.
The Wangari Maathai Award is an initiative of CBD, CIFOR, CITES, FAO, GEF,
ICRAF, ITTO, IUCN, IUFRO, UNCCD, UNDP, UNEP, UNFCCC, UNFF and World Bank,
all members of the CPF. Nominations will be reviewed by an international
jury of renowned personalities, who will also take into consideration such
elements as empowering women, youth and civil society, fostering social
commitment, promoting networks and improving the valuation of forests in
society.
Eligibility: Applicants should be nominated by a third party. Nominees may
be persons, living or recently deceased, who have made exceptional
contributions to forests. Professional and research contributions will only
be considered if they are conducted outside of normal work-related
responsibilities. Applications received from a nominee's kin or business
partner are not eligible for consideration. Applications related to
grassroots initiatives are particularly encouraged.
Selection: The closing date for receipt of nominations is 10 May 2019. The
awardee will be selected by a jury nominated by CPF members, which will take
into account gender and regional balance when considering potential
awardees.
Announcement: The awardee will be notified of their selection via email in
mid-August 2019. This year's Wangari Maathai Award will be presented on 30
September 2019, at the XXV IUFRO World Congress to be held at Expo Unimed on
29 September - 5 October 2019 in Curitiba, Brazil.
To submit an application: Please send completed nominations to the CPF
Secretariat at cpf(a)un.org. The attached guidelines should be used when
submitting your nomination.

Betreff: International Scientific Conference: Forests in Science, Practice and Education (18-19 June 2019, Warsaw University of Life Sciences -SGGW)
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to cordially invite you to spend one week in Poland and take part in the International Scientific Conference - Forests in Science, Practice and Education (16-22 June 2019, Warsaw University of Life Sciences -SGGW). The conference is organised on the occasion of the first centenary of the Faculty of Forestry in Warsaw.
We also invite you to participate in the pre- and post-conference excursions that will take place in the Forest Experimental Station in Rogów (16-18 June) and one of the most famous lowland forests in Europe – the Białowieża Forest (19-22 June).
For more details please find enclosed invitation or visit the conference homepage at http://100years.wl.sggw.pl/.
We are looking forward to meeting you in Warsaw!
Organizing Committee
The theme of the 2019 International Day of Forests is "Forest and
Education". This theme will be one of the five key topics to be discussed at
a scientific symposium on 21-23 March as part of the 2019 World Wood Day
celebrations in Stübing, Austria.
The symposium "CHANGE from tradition to innovation" is jointly organized
by IAWA, IAWS and IUFRO. Sandra Rodríguez-Pineros from the Universidad
Autónoma de Chihuahua, Mexico, and Coordinator of the Joint IUFRO-IFSA Task
Force on Forest Education, will deliver a keynote speech on "Education an
essential tool for forest sustainability and wood utilization". Other
symposium topics are proper tree species identification and illegal timber
use, wooden buildings, wood-based musical instruments, and non-wood
products.
World Wood Day is an annual event to celebrate the importance of wood,
demonstrate the beauty of wood, and share the knowledge about wood. This
year's celebrations will take place under the motto "CHANGE". A variety of
programs such as woodcraft activities, folk art workshops and events for
children will be organized for the public with free admission.
The 2019 WWD event in Austria is jointly organized by the World Wood Day
Foundation (WWDF) and the International Wood Culture Society (IWCS). The
event will bring more than 500 participants from over 90 countries and
regions from around the world to the Austrian Open Air Stübing and Graz.
