Dear colleagues of Division 8,
I hope you and your family are fine even in the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Actually, in Japan, the situation is very uncertain, especially in Tokyo
and Osaka.
As for the captioned matter, it was decided that the ACID RAIN 2020
conference would be postponed to late 2021 or early 2022. Although the
actual new date is still under discussion, we have just updated HP to
inform potential participants of the current situation.
https://www.acidrain2020.org
The name of the conference "ACID RAIN 2020" will not be changed to
utilize the materials prepared so far (such as logo, HP, registration
system, etc.).
I will inform you when the new date is decided.
Thank you for your understanding on this matter.
Best regards,
Hiro

Enabling Factors to Scale Up Forest Landscape Restoration

FRO_FLR_Policy_Study-cover_39715b07a1.jpgThe time is now to make forest
restoration (FLR) at scale a success. This study seeks to better understand
enabling governance and economic factors that can inform FLR implementation,
based on sound evidence gathered from diverse contexts.
Enabling Factors to Scale Up Forest Landscape Restoration: The Roles of
Governance and Economics. Full Report with Case Studies
Published by WWF-Germany, November 2020
Author: Stephanie Mansourian, environmental consultant and Deputy
Coordinator of the IUFRO Task Force on Transforming Forest Landscapes for
Future Climates and Human Well-Being
WWF and IUFRO have come together to push the forest restoration agenda
forward using our combined scientific, policy and field implementation
expertise. Both of our organizations have been exploring lessons learned in
FLR (IUFRO FLR Snapshot and WWF FLR Field Experiences) to understand what
works and what doesn't as a basis for informing future implementation.
The purpose of this report is to identify the enabling factors at the
national or subnational scale (including specifically governance and
economic factors) that have motivated the initiation of forest restoration,
that have enabled its implementation at scale, and that are key to
sustaining it.
It reviews case studies of 10 locations that have scaled up forest
restoration (Bhutan, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Georgia, Kenya,
Madagascar, Viet Nam, the Great Green Wall for the Sahara and Sahel, and
Brazil's Espírito Santo State) in order to identify possible enabling
factors related to governance and economics and thereby to guide future FLR
interventions.

Dear all,
please note that the International Tree Mortality Network, an initiative
of the IUFRO task force on monitoring trends and patterns in global tree
mortality, is organizing a series of online seminars. These seminars
will take place as online web seminars in regular intervals (6 to 8
seminars per year).
Our kick-off meeting took place on Nov 17 and the recording is now
available on the IUFRO youtube channel:

*MATT HANSEN*, University of Maryland, author of the *GLOBAL FOREST WATCH*
*Global forest monitoring using satellite data*
_Abstract_: Earth observation data enable the monitoring of forest
extent and change from national to global scales. Consistent processing
of time-series images has made possible the operational production of
global tree cover extent, loss and gain products. However, attribution
of dynamics in the context 1) reference state, for example forest type,
2) change factor, for example fire or logging, and 3) outcome, for
example land use type or natural recovery, is more challenging. In
addition to mapping, the requirement to perform robust sample-based
analyses to report on all themes is underappreciated. This talk will
review our work on characterizing forest dynamics at the global scale
using multi-source satellite imagery, including mapping and sampling, in
the context of current operational versus future aspirational capabilities.
If you are interested in contributing to the seminar series and/or have
suggestions for additional speakers, please contact us at:

Dear Colleague,
In the framework of the activities developed by the Silva Mediterranea Working Group on UPF, a dedicated Task Force (led by Mr Artur Gonçalves from the University of Braganza) has been created to work to the definition of indicators for the assessment of urban and peri-urban forest in the Mediterranean context.
I am now sharing with you the link to access a survey launched by the Task Force to collect inputs to define basic characteristics that should be met by the indicators to assess urban and peri-urban forests at municipal level in the Region: https://forms.gle/L61H9hNnaBQqSwGA8
Should you wish to contribute to this effort, we invite you to compile the survey by Wednesday 25 November, for the task force to elaborate the results in time for the XII Workshop of the WG (next Thursday 26 November). On that occasion, in fact, a dedicated working session will be held by the Task Force (see Session 3 in the agenda attached) to inform participants on their advances and involve other colleagues from the Region to brainstorm on how to overcome identified barriers/challenges to the implementation of this activity.
Thank you in advance for your contribution.
Best regards,
Michela Conigliaro

Cher Collègue,
Dans le cadre des activités développées par le groupe de travail sur la Foresterie Urbaine et peèriurbaine de Silva Mediterranea, une Task Force dédié (dirigé par M. Artur Gonçalves de l'Université de Bragance) a été créé pour travailler à la définition d'indicateurs pour l'évaluation des forêt urbaine dans le contexte méditerranéen.
Je partage avec vous le lien pour accéder à une enquête lancée par le Task Force pour collecter des contributions pour la définition des caractéristiques de base des indicateurs a utilizer pour évaluer à l'échelle municipale les forêts urbaines et périurbaines dans la Région Mediterranèe : <https://forms.gle/L61H9hNnaBQqSwGA8> https://forms.gle/L61H9hNnaBQqSwGA8
Si vous souhaitez contribuer à cet effort, nous vous invitons à compiler l'enquête d'ici le mercredi 25 novembre, afin que le Task Force élabore les résultats à temps pour le XII Atelier du GT (qui se tiendra jeudi prochain, 26 novembre). À cette occasion, en fait, une session de travail dédiée sera organisée par le Task Force (voir Session 3 dans l'ordre du jour ci-joint) pour informer les participants de leurs progrès et impliquer d'autres collègues de la Région pour réfléchir à la manière de surmonter les obstacles/défis identifiés vers la mise en œuvre de cette activité.
Nous vous remercions d'avance pour votre contribution.
Meilleures salutations,
Michela Conigliaro
