Dear colleagues,

I had a look at the list of awardees of the Marcus Wallenberg Prize from 1981 to 2020 (https://mwp.org/category/prize-winners/). I was really shocked by the huge gender imbalance: since 1981 only 8% of the awardees are women (5 out of 64).

I know that the forestry and forest industry sector is largely dominated by men, but there are also plenty of amazing female scientist in the area of forest-related disciplines, who would largely deserve this prize.

So it is time to nominate our wonderful female colleagues!

Best regards,

Pascal Frey
