Reactivation of the International Society of Tropical Foresters
Dear International Foresters:
We are reactivating the International Society of Tropical Foresters which has been dormant for the last five years. The first step is to rebuild the list of people interested in ISTF. If you would like to connect with us, please send the following information to Teija Reyes reyesteija(a)gmail.com or Sheila Ward mahoganyforthefuture(a)gmail.com:
First and last name
Title
Email address
Web page (if any)
Country of origin
Country of residence
Organization or institution
Languages
Short description of areas of expertise (25 words or less)
Countries of professional experience
At present, we have three sources of information for International Tropical Foresters.
1) Blair Orr at Michigan Technical University has kindly continued the ISTF newsletter as a newsletter for the Society of American Foresters International Forestry Working Group, and is still sending it to the old ISTF mailing list. This newsletter can be downloaded at: http://www.orrforest.net/saf/
If you wish to subscribe to the newsletter, please send your email address to Teija Reyes reyesteija(a)gmail.com or Sheila Ward mahoganyforthefuture(a)gmail.com and they will send it on to Blair.
2) The old ISTF web page can be still be found at http://www.istf-bethesda.org/
3) You can join the ISTF facebook group page at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2262122534/
We hope to have your participation in the new ISTF! Please forward this to others.
Teija Reyes and Sheila Ward
Mark your calendars for the international conference on
Managing eucalypt plantations under global changes; Montpellier, France;
17-21 September 2018
Eucalypt plantations cover approximately 20 million hectares worldwide and
are expanding rapidly to provide the raw material for wood, paper, and
biofuel products as well as large amounts of firewood and charcoal for
domestic uses. Breeding programs and silvicultural practices must be
revisited to face the ongoing global changes.
As in previous IUFRO meetings (Bordeaux 1990, Hobart 1995, Salvador 1997,
Valdivia 2001, Aveiro 2004, Durban 2007, Porto Seguro 2011, Nanning 2015),
this conference will be a great opportunity for scientists and managers of
forest plantations to present the recent advances in silviculture and
genetics and to improve our understanding of the response of eucalypts to
biotic and abiotic stresses. The ecosystem services influenced by eucalypt
monocultures and mixed-species plantations with eucalypt trees will be
addressed.
Details at: https://eucalyptus2018.cirad.fr/
We are looking forward to welcoming you in Montpellier next year!

Subject: PhD course on international forest policy in Umea - please
distribute widely - sorry for cross-posting
Dear all,
We are inviting for applications for a one week PhD student course on
international forest policy in September/October (the lecture period is
September 11 15 in Umea).
Please find attached a short description of the course. The main aim is to
provide an understanding of international forest policy on global as well as
European level from a broad social science perspective. The course is
relevant for PhD students from different disciplines, welcoming students not
only from forest and core social sciences.
The course is organized by the Department of Forest Economics, Swedish
University of Agricultural Sciences, and the North European Regional Office
of the European Forest Institute, EFINORD, in collaboration with the Centre
for Environmental and Resource Economics, CERE, the Scandinavian Society of
Forest Economics, SSFE, and the University of Copenhagen.
Deadline for application is July 10th.
Further information can be found at

or

d-courses/state-of-the-art-international-forest-policy/
It would be great if you could forward the course flyer into your networks,
and could approach potentially interested students.
Many thanks and best wishes
Maria, Göran and Georg
