The CPF launched the first Wangari Maathai Award in 2012 to honour and commemorate the impact of this extraordinary woman who championed forest issues around the world. In 2021, the CPF will award one individual for her/his outstanding achievements for forests during the XV World Forestry Congress (24-28 May 2021, Seoul, Korea). The awardee will receive a cash prize of USD 20 000 along with international recognition of the outstanding contributions to preserve, restore and sustainably manage forests and to raise awareness of the key role forests play in supporting local communities, rural livelihoods, women, youth and the environment. The Wangari Maathai Award is an initiative of CBD, CIFOR, CITES, FAO, GEF, ICRAF, ITTO, IUCN, IUFRO, UNCCD, UNDP, UNEP, UNFCCC, UNFF and World Bank, all members of the CPF. Nominations will be reviewed by an international jury of renowned personalities, who will also take into consideration such elements as empowering women, youth and civil society, fostering social commitment, promoting networks and improving the valuation of forests in society. Eligibility: Applicants should be nominated by a third party. Nominees may be persons, living or recently deceased, who have made exceptional contributions to forests. Professional and research contributions will only be considered if they are conducted outside of normal work-related responsibilities. Applications received from a nominee's kin or business partner are not eligible for consideration. Applications related to grassroots initiatives are particularly encouraged. Selection: The closing date for receipt of nominations is 15 September 2020. The awardee will be selected by a jury nominated by CPF members, which will take into account gender and regional balance when considering potential awardees. Announcement: The awardee will be notified of their selection via email in February 2021. This year's Wangari Maathai Award will be presented during the XV World Forestry Congress <http://wfc2021korea.org/> (24-28 May 2021), at the Coex Convention Center in Seoul, Korea.

The event will take place from the 4th to the 6th of November 2020 in Heidelberg, Germany. The aim of this workshop is to bring together leading scientists from hydrology, soil science and plant physiology to communicate the latest research on water and nutrient fluxes in the soil-plant atmosphere continuum and to identify challenges and ways forward among colleagues from these three neighboring disciplines. We will have four sessions covering the following topics: 1. Transport processes and residence times in ecohydrological systems 2. Novel tracer techniques for investigating processes in the subsurface 3. Ecohydrological storages and fluxes mediated by plants 4. Methodological developments and monitoring systems Confirmed invited speakers are: Dr. Matthias Sprenger, Dr. Matthias Beyer, Jun. Prof. Dr. Michaela Dippold and Ass.
