[IUFRO Div 6] On Social Aspects of Forests and Forestry - Interview with Division 6 Coordinator Tuija Sievänen

Read an interview with Division 6 Coordinator Tuija Sievänen of the Natural Resources Institute Finland, about the work in IUFRO Division 6 and the All-Division Meeting at the IUFRO 125th Anniversary Congress. The range of topics covered by Division 6 is broad and goes into all kinds of issues related to the cultural and social aspects of forestry and forests. This research can offer valuable input for the understanding of the forest–human relationship. Division 6 had many good sessions at the Congress and there were a lot of social aspects integrated into other sessions outside the Division. It is good progress to see social sciences having such a large role in forest sciences. Social issues are of growing interest in the forestry sector, and the interest will continue to grow and a broad spectrum of research will be done on those issues in future.
