Subject: Gregory Award materials
Greetings!
The Society of American Foresters is excited to begin accepting applications for the 2017 Gregory Award. The Gregory Award seeks to mark the achievements of Bob and Ann Gregory and further their interest in international relations by providing economic assistance to outstanding students or professionals from outside of the US and Canada to attend the SAF Convention and have meaningful engagement with foresters on the North American continent.
Thanks to the continued generosity of the Gregory family and SAF members, this award has been expanded to bring two promising individuals to the SAF Convention each year. This year’s convention will take place in Albuquerque, New Mexico on November 15-19. The award includes complimentary registration and $2,000 (US dollars) that may be utilized for travel, lodging, and tickets to SAF convention events or technical field tours. SAF will work with successful applicants to allocate the funds in the most useful manner.
Please help us spread the word about this exciting opportunity. The deadline to apply is May 8, 2017.
The application is attached. For more information, visit http://www.eforester.org/Main/Community/Scholarships/Gregory_Award.aspx <http://www.eforester.org/Main/Community/Scholarships/Gregory_Award.aspx >.

Dear friends and colleagues,
Welcome to the ninth edition of the FTA Gender Integration Team Newsletter: Focus on Gender. In this issue we would like to commemorate <http://worldagroforestry.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9cb21f8b9d12b67… > International Women´s Day.
This year´s theme is ´the working world of women´. In line with this, the newsletter features a research study on gender and oil palm production and two exciting videos telling the story of the female oil palm farmers in Indonesia. In this issue you can also find an invitation to our up coming side event during the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW 2017) in New York (March 13-24). And, as usual, you can find our latest news, publications, updates and upcoming events.
Please feel free to share with us any gender and forests related resources, tools or information you may have. Your comments and feedback on the newsletter are welcome and encouraged. To get in touch, please email <mailto:mailto:a.paez-valencia@cgiar.org> Ana Maria Paez Valencia.

Examining gender gaps in Indonesia's palm oil industry
By Bimbika Sijapati Basnett and Leona Liu (CIFOR)
<http://worldagroforestry.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9cb21f8b9d12b672… > <http://worldagroforestry.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9cb21f8b9d12b672… > <http://worldagroforestry.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9cb21f8b9d12b672… >
Oil palm expansion threatens to displace local women from the lands where they cultivate their food crops, and this way help to feed their families. Furthermore, the women´s work contributions to oil palm production are largely unrecognized, and in the rare cases that they are, women are overrepresented in the ‘casual worker’ category, with limited entitlement to decent working conditions. Finally, gender issues are not considered in policies, certification bodies and regulations in the sector. <http://worldagroforestry.us2.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=9cb21f8b9d12b67… > Read more

Under the Austrian presidency of the Alpine Convention an international conference entitled "The Role of Women in Mountain Regions" will take place in Alpbach/Tyrol on 18-19 April 2017.
Sustainable development is vital for the mountain regions. Often it is the women who are particularly aware of the changes occurring in their environment and engage with initiatives to confront these changes. The aim of the conference is to provide information, along with fresh input and ideas, and to provide a forum for an exchange of experiences and networking for all those who are interested.
The conference “The Role of Women in Mountain Regions” focuses on the unique role of women in mountain regions and examines their indispensable contribution to the protection, preservation and development of these regions.
