IUFRO Public Relations Working Party - Two Opportunities for Engagement - please respond by 08 January 2021 if interested

by Hayes, Jennifer -FS

Dear IUFRO Public Relations Working Party Members - On our 2020 work planning call in November there were two ideas put forward for broad action across our party: the first to pursue a special issue of a journal dedicated for forest science communication and the second is to update the manual on forest science communication. The special issue journal would require submission of full journal-quality papers by multiple working party members related to the topic of communicating forest science. This is a solicitation looking for expressions of interest by 08 January 2021. We would determine by January 15 if there is enough interest to pursue the journal issue. If there is, we would request that abstracts be submitted by March; and if accepted, a full paper by the end of May 2020. The second item is to update the Communicating Forest Science manual, developed by the Working Party in 2014. This update would focus on new communication tools and technology that have come onto the scene and gained popularity and effectiveness since 2014. We would request ideas for country-specific case studies that help showcase the tactical and tangible methods that can be used to communicate forest science using new tools and technology. For this effort, we are looking for volunteers to craft case studies and draft sections on new tools and technologies for the manual update. If you are interested in supporting this effort, please respond by 08 January 2021. This work will take place over the course of 2021. For questions on these two efforts, please use our Slack Channel<Join%20me%20on%20Slack%20-%20it's%20a%20faster,%20simpler%20way%20to%20work.%20Sign%20up%20here,%20from%20a…>. Thank you.

New IUFRO-WWF Report on Forest Landscape Restoration

by Brigitte Burger

Enabling Factors to Scale Up Forest Landscape Restoration <https://www.iufro.org/typo3temp/assets/_processed_/8/d/csm_2020_11_20_WWF_I UFRO_FLR_Policy_Study-cover_39715b07a1.jpg> Beschreibung: https://www.iufro.org/typo3temp/assets/_processed_/8/d/csm_2020_11_20_WWF_IU 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.

IFPM3 online March 2021

by Ida Wallin

Dear colleagues, We hope this email finds you all in good health! Due to the pandemic we have decided to move the 3rd International Forest Policy Meeting (IFPM3) online. We will do our best to replicate the familiarity and good discussion climate that we are used to from previous IFPMs also in the online format. We hope you will join us in March and please take note of the updated submission deadlines and guidelines below and on the website: http://www.forstpolitik-umweltpolitik.uni-freiburg.de/lehre/IFPM%203 The conference will take place on the 17-18th of March, 2021. A few changes will be made due to the online format and most importantly, we will no longer accept poster presentations. Those of you that have submitted poster presentations will be contacted in the coming days. In order to accommodate participation from time zones other than CET, we will have sessions spread out over the day. Once your submission(s) have been accepted you will be contacted regarding your preferred time slots. In the online format we will accommodate panels, individual oral presentations, and 3-minute-thesis (3MT) presentations. Please DO NOT submit individual abstracts if your presentation is already included in a panel submission. Panel submissions include the abstracts of all included presentations so there is no need to submit these individually. The deadline for all submissions has been extended to the 11th of December and you will receive a notification of acceptance before the end of December. The deadline for registration is 15th of January and includes the payment of a 50 EUR conference fee. The fee enables us to provide a high-quality online conference experience and guarantee good opportunities for participation. Updated submission guidelines and additional information you also find on the conference website here: http://www.forstpolitik-umweltpolitik.uni-freiburg.de/lehre/IFPM%203 We are looking forward to your submissions and active participation online in March!
