Please find below some information on a conference being organized by Dr. Bruno Ramamonjisoa and scheduled to take place in Antananarivo, Madagascar from December 10-11, 2013 and titled "The biodiversity and people in the context of climate change". This meeting may be of special interest to those in the Biodiversity working group of Division 8, but others in D8 may also be interested. If you are interested and would like to organize a session or a Working Party meeting, you are welcome to do so.

Subject: Re: International Symposium
Dear Ms Burger
Thank you so much for you response. I am happy to know that IUFRO as an interest on this symposium.
The file I sent is the outline of this symposium. If IUFRO work group want to propose session to this meeting we can accept of course their proposal until last week of June as we must send the call for oral presentation and poster at the end of this month.
I am so sorry because I didn't tell you about the organizer and how this meeting was prepared.
The idea of organizing this symposium was born two years ago when we found from our research results at Forest Deparment, School of agronomy (IUFRO member) that many research has been done on biodiversity and climate change in Madagascar and the islands of the Indian Ocean. Some of these results have been published (most of them relate to the theme of biodiversity), but failed to advance the dialogue between policy makers and the scientific on how to manage Madagascar biodiversité Hotspot.
This year is the 50th anniversary of the School and the organizing committee has asked our Department to organize a scientific event because we have organized international symposim in 2008 (on CBNRM), 2010 (Internationalization of environment standards, actors and territories in Madagascar) and in 2011 in partnership with the National Tree Seed Center (The use of research results for better forest management).
This symposium will be organize by The University of Antananarivo (leading by Forest Department of School of agronomy) in partnership with The Malagasy Ministry of research and The ministry of Environment and Forest.
The Scientific Committee is composed mainly by Malagasy scientists
Professor Emeritus RAMANANKASINA Estelle (School of agronomy)
Professor RASOARAHONA Jean (Dean of School of agronomy)
Professor RAMAMONJISOA Lolona (National Tree Seed Center, Madagascar)
Professor RAKOTO RAMIARINTSOA Hervé (University of Bordeaux 3, France)
Professor RABEHARISOA Lilia (Isotope Laboratory)
Professor RATSIRARSON Joelisoa (Deputy President of University of Antananarivo)
Dr RAMIARISON Claudine (General Director of Research and Partnership at the Ministry of research)
Professor RAMAMONJISOA Bruno ((School of agronomy)
Dr RABEMANANTSOA Jean Claude (General Director of Forest)
Dr RABESANDRATANA Germain (Director of the Climate Change at the ministry of environment)
We invited several renowned scientists as keynotes speakers, most of them have already agreed (they will be included automatically in the scientific comitee)
Professor Marc HUFTY (Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva)
Professor Kaneko NOBUHIRO (Yokohama National University, Japan)
Professor Gérard BUTTOUD (University of Tuscia, Italy. Confirmation in progress)
Professor Jean Pierre SORG (ETH Zurich)
Professor Alison RICHARD (Yale University, USA. To be confirmed)
We are aware that IUFRO can not always provide financial support for a set of reasons. But it will be really appreciated if IUFRO can give grants to researcher who want to attend this symposium and at least support on event announcement, outcome publishing, integration of the proceeding in the IUFRO's on-line reference library. I hope IUFRO can co-sponsored this meeting so you could use IUFRO Logo.
Please feel free to ask more information and to give us any suggestion, comments
Thank you again
Best regards

Dear Mr. Buck,
I am Li Hui, Managing Editor of Forest Ecosystems, a new international Open Access journal established at Beijing Forestry University in cooperation with Springer Science. The project has excellent backing regarding available staff and other resources. We have two Editors in Chief, Dr. Yin WeiLun from China and Dr. Klaus v. Gadow from Germany, and an international Editorial Board which includes 25 Associate Editors and 5 Senior Editors.
Traditional journals are inundated with manuscripts and Forest Ecosystems will improve the chances for good papers to become available sooner. We will start publishing peer-reviewed original articles and critical reviews in January, 2014. The focus will be on individual papers and special issues relating to natural and managed forest ecosystems and their services to people. Manuscripts will go online and will be ready for download as soon as they are accepted. During the first two years, we will carry the cost of publishing Open Access.
IUFRO scientists are invited to visit our webseite at <http://mc03.manuscriptcentral.com/fsc> http://mc03.manuscriptcentral.com/fsc and submit their manuscripts after logging in as author and providing the contact details of 4 qualified referees. We also welcome proposals for a special issue.
Thank you for your support!
With best regards

Betreff: 2013 SORP-FFP Conference Update
The IUFRO Conference on Forests for People and
the 2013 National Outdoor Recreation Conference
Early Bird Registration Extended to May 1
The federal sequestration has put many potential federal conference attendees on hold while they sort out the budget implications. So we extended the early bird registration to May 1. The early bird rate for SORP and IUFRO members will increase from $385 to $485 on May 2. The non-member rate will increase from $485 to $585. Register now and save some bucks!

Quite a few of you have registered already, but many of you have not. All speakers are expected to register for conference and pay their way. We do not have any funding to help with travel expenses. Please let us know right away if you cannot attend conference. The conference program goes to print in a few weeks and we want it to be as accurate as possible.
