Subject: IUFRO Joint International Conference - RG 3.08, RG 9.03, WP 9.05.06
Dear Colleagues,
I am delighted to share with you the first announcement and call for submissions for our IUFRO International Conference "Between Tradition and Increasing Challenges: Future Development of Small-scale and Community Forestry in Times of Global Change". Some of you honor us by participating in the Scientific Committee, so I am sure we will have a very interesting meeting!
The conference will provide a unique opportunity to bring together researchers from all over the world to share evidence-based knowledge on small-scale and community forestry issues in Latin America, including the ecological, institutional and anthropogenic factors influencing the management and evolution of forests and forest landscapes. As traditional knowledge plays a substantial role in both small-scale and community forest ownership models, the integration of a historical dimension will provide an additional source of information in order to interpret and understand the challenges and constraints related to global change.
Please find attached the First Announcement as well as two pictures: the Paranaense Rainforest in Misiones, Argentina, and a workshop of mbya guarani craftspeople on valorization of the cultural value inherent to their production.
I look forward to promoting forest history and traditional knowledge (as well as community forestry) at this meeting!
All the best,
Monica

Betreff: IUFRO Division 8 - Greetings for the New Year ! Reminder - session proposals for all division 8 meeting 24 to 28 October 2016
Dear IUFRO Divison 8 colleagues,
first of all, my best wishes for a very happy, healthy and successfull new year 2016 ! I take this opportunity to thank you all for your contributions and work for IUFRO and Division 8 in the past year and there are already many exciting plans for activities in the coming year (please have a look at the IUFRO website to grasp the full list of planned activities).
Let me emphasize once more our first All division 8 conference "FOREST ENVIRONMENT under CHANGING CLIMATES and SOCIETIES" which will be held in Beijing from 24 to 28 October , in conjunction with 2016 IUFRO regional congress for Asia and Oceania. We have already received a few excellent session proposals and I would like to encourage all those who have not yet submitted any session to do it before 31st January. (you will find attached the second announcement and call for session proposals, and please use the on-line submission: http://www.iufro-ao2016.org/en/page.asp?hid= <http://www.iufro-ao2016.org/en/page.asp?hid=&pageid=82.html> &pageid=82.html )
There is another challenge we have to meet in this year and this is our website communication. Though we are pretty good in communicating our activities, we have been less good in communicating a few more information about our working parties in general. I take the chance and the spirit of the new year to ask all of you to update the IUFRO website of your unit. This will make your efforts and the unit work visible as well to the people outside IUFRO and can help to strengthen our network. You can directly send your changes to Brigitte Burger (burger(a)iufro.org) from the IUFRO secretariat. She will be happy to change and update the content.
Looking very much forward to meeting most of you in Beijing in October 2016.
With my best regards

Deadline for Submissions: 31 January 2016
>From 24 to 27 October 2016, IUFRO will hold its first Regional Congress for Asia and Oceania in Beijing, China. Under the Congress title "Forests for Sustainable Development: the Role of Research", we hope to establish a cutting-edge scientific programme highlighting the role of forest science in informing forest-related policies and management in Asia and Oceania to cope with the significant environmental, social and economic changes in the region and address the consequent challenges.
For such a programme to materialize, we need your contributions: diverse, from inside and outside the region, across the full range of natural and social science disciplines at various levels, from the gene to the globe.
Therefore please submit by 31 January at the latest your session proposals addressing one or more of the following Congress themes:
1. Sustainable forest management for enhanced provision of ecosystem services;
2. Forest and landscape rehabilitation and restoration;
3. Combating desertification, disaster and risk management, and climate change mitigation and adaptation;
4. Planted forests for fostering a greener economy;
5. Innovative technologies for bio-energy, bio-materials and other products;
6. Urban forestry for human health and community well-being;
7. Social and cultural aspects of forests, including traditional knowledge, human health, community participation and gender roles;
8. Forest and agro-forest management for food security, enhanced livelihoods and non-timber forest products.
