Colleagues,
The members of the Task Force "Forest Adaptation and Restoration under
Global Change" of the International Union of Forest Research
Organizations (IUFRO) are conducting a survey to gain data and insights
for developing best practice approaches for forest adaptation and
restoration under global change. This survey relies on the knowledge of
experts/professionals from forestry and related fields and their
information about actual examples of Adaptive Measures in Forestry and
Forest Restoration.
The collected data will contribute valuable information to a study of
the local and regional experiences with Adaptive Forest Management (AFM)
and Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) under climate- and societal
change with the aim to increase the adaptive capacity of forests and
forest landscapes with regards to those changes.
If you are working or have experience in this field, please participate
in this survey. You can choose among 13 languages. It will take
approximately 15-20 minutes to fill in the survey and we would like to
thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Latsis Symposium 2018 Scaling-Up Forest Restoration
Zürich, Switzerland; 6-7 June 2018
http://latsis2018.ethz.ch/
Colleagues,
Mark your calendars for the Latsis Symposium 2018!
The Latsis Symposium 2018 will bring together leading scientists and
practitioners to address the ecological, economic, and societal challenges
for scaling-up forest restoration. The symposium is motivated by the
challenge of delivering an effective global response to two major
environmental threats, climate change and forest degradation through
restoration.
The goal of the 2-day symposium is to work towards a conceptual
understanding of the challenges and opportunities for scaling-up forest
restoration efforts to meet Bonn Challenge targets. Presentations by experts
from academia, non-governmental organisations, and the business sector will
help to frame and inform discussions on forest restoration approaches.
Registration, http://latsis2018.ethz.ch/registration/, is free of charge and
ends on 30 May 2018.

Dear colleagues,
As a young and strongly emerging research journal Forest and Society<http://journal.unhas.ac.id/index.php/fs> (F&S) is openly welcoming submissions with a main geographical focus on Southeast Asia.
We are also inviting proposals for themed special sections, currently compiling one on agrarian transformations in Thailand and forest politics in Indonesia.
Our F&S journal is:
* University-driven (UNHAS Indonesia)
* interdisciplinary
* peer-reviewed
* open-access (non-predatory)
* free of charge
We lately completed Volume 1, which includes 2 issues, consisting of 13 articles that cover various topics and research approaches, at different scales. All articles are open access and can be downloaded here<http://journal.unhas.ac.id/index.php/fs/issue/archive>. We are eager to expand our network and are open to new initiatives and collaborations that increase accessibility and exposure on land, forest, politics-policy, and society issues across Southeast Asia.
All papers are overseen by our diverse editorial team<http://journal.unhas.ac.id/index.php/fs/about/editorialTeam> and we hand submissions for blind review among subject and country-specific experts for a quick and timely review process..
Please help us spread the word and do not hesitate to contact us, and check us out on facebook<https://www.facebook.com/forestandsociety/> and twitter<https://twitter.com/forstsociety>.
Many thanks & looking forward to your submission!

The Faculty of Forest Sciences and Forest Ecology at the
Georg-August-Universität Göttingen invites applications for the position of
Associate Professor (Tenure Track) (W2 t.t. W3) for Forest Policy and
International Governance
This professorship is funded by the German Federal and State governments
through the programme Bund-Länder-Programm zur Förderung des
