Dear colleagues,
More than one year after the meeting, we have already performed the
edition of the proceedings of the meeting “Global change and forest
diseases: new threats, new strategies” (IUFRO WG 7.02.02) held in the
Monastery of Montesclaros, Cantabria (Spain), during 23-28 th May 2011.
Thus, (1) Abstracts, Extended Abstracts and Research Articles, have been
already published in the web of the Journal of Agricultural Extension
and Rural Development (JAERD)
http://www.academicjournals.org/JAERD/contents/2012%20cont/14MayConf.htm
Currently, the hard copy of this Proceedings is "in press", and will be
sent to the mail address of the participants during the next month. On
the other hand, (2) Research articles selected for the Forest Systems
journal (www.iufro2011.com) are also in press, and will be published in
the special number of September. I will send you an e-mail concerning
this fact asap.
That's all for now, only say "thanks a lot" to all participants,
reviewers, members of the scientific and organising committee. And good
luck to Libor and collaborators for the next year.
See you in Brno!!!
Have a good summer!

First IUFRO-FORNESSA Regional Congress
25-29 June 2012, Nairobi, Kenya
CONGRESS REGISTRATION AND INFORMATION
Dear member of the IUFRO network,
Dear friend of IUFRO,
For the first time ever, an IUFRO-FORNESSA Regional Congress & ITTO/AFF
Forest Policy Day on "Forests and Trees: Serving the People of Africa and
the World" is being organized in Nairobi, Kenya on 25-29 June 2012.
This Regional Congress will provide a unique opportunity to stimulate and
enhance scientific cooperation with our colleagues, forest researchers and
organizations in Africa. The overall goal of the Congress is to demonstrate
how forest science is impacting on livelihoods, environmental management and
development in Africa. The Congress will highlight research that puts
relevant information in the hands of forest communities, forest managers,
policy makers, the private sector and civil society.
The Congress will take place at the premises of the World Agroforestry
Centre (ICRAF), United Nations Avenue, Gigiri, 00100 Nairobi, Kenya. An
overview of the Congress Timetable is posted on the website at
http://www.fornis.net/congress/en/homepage, as well as information on the
Congress venue, local logistics, accommodation and the Congress program. All
information is regularly updated with the most recent developments as the
Congress is coming closer.
Do not forget to make your registration before 15 May 2012 through the
Congress website at http://www.fornis.net/congress/en/homepage and pay the
registration fee as described at
http://www.fornis.net/congress/en/registrationfee. Your registration before
the deadline will be essential for arranging local transportation in
Nairobi, which can otherwise not be ensured by the local organizers.
The local Congress organizers and IUFRO Board members are looking forward to
seeing you at the first IUFRO-FORNESSA Regional Congress in Africa and will
be glad to welcome you in Nairobi.
Michael Kleine
IUFRO Deputy Executive Director

Registration: simultaneous with the payment.
Abstracts: up to 1 page, indicating whether intended talk or a poster, deadline August 1st, to be sent to rimvys.vasaitis(a)slu.se<mailto:rimvys.vasaitis@slu.se> and Cc: audrius.menkis(a)slu.se<mailto:audrius.menkis@slu.se>
Proceedings: authors of all contributions will be invited to submit manuscript to Baltic Forestry (www.balticforestry.mi.lt<http://www.balticforestry.mi.lt>), a journal with ISI impact factor (yet recent and small). All submissions will be reviewed.
Travelling by air:
- arrival: Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) flights SK2746 and SK2744 from Copenhagen, and SK2742 from Oslo (direct connections to USA / Canada and major European cities), or AirBaltic flight BT033 from Riga (direct connection to major European cities);
- departure: SAS SK2749 and SK2747 to Copenhagen, SK2743 to Oslo, and BT032 to Riga; you will arrive/depart 7 km from the hotel;
- in case of earlier arrival and/or later departure you will be charged extra at very moderate price (this might be worth as Palanga has nice beaches and unique amber museum www.pgm.lt/Gintaro_muziejus/titulinis_en.htm<http://www.pgm.lt/Gintaro_muziejus/titulinis_en.htm> part of which exhibition consists of insect/plant inclusions);
- in case you will be willing to attend another Meeting of IUFRO Working Parties 7.03.01 and 7.03.04 starting in Vilnius on September 17th (see below), you will be offered transportation to Vilnius meeting venue for symbolic price (or eventually free of charge); in such case, please book return flights from Vilnius airport, which has a broader selection of flights.
Travelling by sea:
- check http://www.dfdslisco.com/en/
- please note that even if from Kiel to Klaipeda (everyday connection) it takes about 20 hours (incl. overnight), the trip is likely to be more relaxing than the whole way driving (see below); Klaipeda port is just 30 km from the hotel;
- in case if you would like to attend Vilnius IUFRO Meeting, Palanga – Vilnius makes 350 km driving, all highway.
Driving all way:
The problem is that there is a Russian enclave between southern Lithuania and northern Poland, so you will have to drive around it, crossing the whole Poland, and there is no cross-country highway. Yet, after passing Polish – Lithuanian border there will be a highway to Palanga, about 350 km. This way could probably be recommended to our Polish colleagues.

Dear IUFRO members,
The Final Conference of PARAmount a project funded by the Alpine Space
Programme of the European Union will be held on 23rd April 2012 at
Grenoble in parallel with the 12th Congress of INTERPRAEVENT (Grenoble, 23
26 April 2012).
The Final Conference is designed to bring together experts, researchers,
policy and decision makers, practitioners from various disciplines as well
as concerned stakeholders for an interdisciplinary, transnational exchange
of views on the further development of strategies and technologies for the
management of natural hazards threatening transport infrastructure and to
present the results of the project concerning the
Assessment of the vulnerability of transport infrastructure to natural
hazards
Improvement of the efficiency of measures necessary to protect transport
infrastructure against natural hazards and to increase its reliability and
security
Advancement of Decision analysis and support systems for an effective
management of transport infrastructure threatened by natural risks
Development of new concepts and approaches for assessing and monitoring
natural risks.
The objective of the concluding round table discussion will be to elaborate
recommendations for overcoming the identified barriers that might impede the
adoption of the developed approaches and concepts as well as to ensure a
successful knowledge transfer.
At the conference website
