Subject: Climate change survey for forest managers / Une enquête sur le
changement climatique pour les gestionnaires forestiers / Una encuesta sobre
cambio climático para las autoridades forestales
Importance: High
FAO, in collaboration with forest management, climate change experts and
relevant stakeholders, is developing guidelines to assist forest managers to
effectively respond to climate change challenges and opportunities. These
guidelines will include actions related to both climate change adaptation
and mitigation and will be relevant to all types of forests, all management
objectives and all types of managers. More information on this effort may be
found here FAO Forests and
<http://www.fao.org/forestry/climatechange/65120/en/> Climate Change
Programme or requested at Climate-Change-Forest-Managers(a)fao.org.
To facilitate the development of the guidelines, we are conducting a survey
for forest managers (The survey in English
<https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9L22T2Q> ). We are inviting you to provide
your views and perceptions on factors that limit the ability of forest
managers to prepare for and respond to climate change.
Kindly forward the survey to your members and your mailing list(s). The
content of individual responses will not be published and will remain
anonymous.
Kindly allocate 15 minutes to complete this survey.
Thank you in advance for your time and effort in responding to the survey.
Best regards,
The Forests and Climate Change Team

La FAO, en collaboration avec des experts en matière de gestion des forêts
et du changement climatique et les parties prenantes concernées, est en
train de développer des directives pour aider les gestionnaires des forêts à
répondre efficacement aux défis du changement climatique et à ses
opportunités. Ces directives comprendront des actions liées à l'adaptation
et à l'atténuation du changement climatique et seront adaptées à tous les
types de forêts, tous les objectifs de gestion et tous les types de
gestionnaires. Pour plus d'informations sur cet effort, vous pouvez
consulter le site Programme de
<http://www.fao.org/forestry/climatechange/65120/fr> la FAO sur les forêts
et le changement climatique ou vous pouvez écrire à

Pour faciliter l'élaboration de ces directives, nous réalisons une enquête
au près des gestionnaires forestiers (
<https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9LMZ8XX> L'enquête en française). Nous vous
invitons à donner votre opinion et vos perceptions sur les facteurs qui
limitent la capacité des gestionnaires forestiers à se préparer et répondre
au changement climatique.
Veuillez s'il vous plaît envoyer lenquête à vos membres et à vos listes
d'adresses. Le contenu de vos réponses ne sera pas publié et restera
anonyme.
Nous vous invitons à prendre 15 minutes pour remplir ce questionnaire.
Merci d'avance pour votre temps et vos efforts consacrés à cette enquête.

Hello,
I'm looking for pictures or drawings of some Kenyan trees as a first step in
a allometry project. I've had some success searching the literature, texts,
and google images, but I haven't been able to locate anything for the
following trees:
Cremaspora trifoliaGarcinia volkensis Margaritiana discoideaOlinia
rochetiana Terena graveolens
Any representative photos you could share or resources you might point me to
would be a great help.
Thanks

LAST CALL FOR ABSTRACTS!
Abstract submissions deadline is postponed to January 28, 2011.
Researchers from over 15 countries have already submitted abstracts for the INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON DYNAMICS AND ECOLOGICAL SERVICES OF DEADWOOD IN FOREST ECOSYSTEMS to be held in Rouyn-Noranda (Québec, Canada), May 15-19, 2011. As some people learned only recently about this exciting and important event, we have pushed the abstract submission deadline to January 28, 2011.
WE ARE PLEASED TO CONFIRM OUR KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
Christophe Bouget (Cemagref, France) - Deadwood in the context of biomass harvesting for energy production
Juha Siitonen (Finnish Forest Research Institute) - Ecological importance of deadwood and saproxylic insects in forest ecosystems
Daniel Vallauri (WWF, France) - Deadwood conservation and restoration in managed landscapes
Kathy Martin (University of British Columbia, Canada) - Nest webs and functional biodiversity
Ian Thompson (Canadian Forest Service) - Deadwood in the global context
Martin Moroni (Forestry Tasmania) - Deadwood functions in carbon and nutrient cycles
HIT THE ROAD WITH THE POST-SYMPOSIUM EXCURSION TO JAMES BAY.
This excursion will provide a unique opportunity to enjoy and discover Northern Quebec. Participants will travel the 620 km James Bay highway from Matagami to the town of Radisson, site of the world's largest underground generating station. Along the way, they will discover black spruce forest and taiga ecosystems, large areas affected by forest fires and a number of stops in natural and managed forests where work conducted by Quebec researchers will be discussed. The 3 day excursion also includes a visit of the Eastmain-1-A/Sarcelle/Rupert hydroelectric project and the Robert-Bourassa hydroelectric station. Cree elders in the town of Chisasibi will meet participants and provide an introduction to the Cree way of life. The tour is limited to 20 participants. Make sure they don't leave without you.
Visit our web site at http://deadwood2011.uqat.ca <http://deadwood2011.uqat.ca> for detailed information on guidelines for abstract submission, organising and scientific committees, venue, registration, and contacts. Early registration deadline is March 26, 2011.
