IUFRO Division 9 Forest History and Traditional Knowledge
Dear Member of the IUFRO Research Group 9.03: Forest History and Traditional Knowledge
We have an excellent opportunity for our working party to get together and present at next year’s IUFRO Congress. Our session proposal was accepted for the upcoming IUFRO 125th Anniversary Congress in Freiburg Germany, 19-22 September, 2017.
The call for abstracts is now open for this congress at <http://iufro2017.com/call-for-abstracts> http://iufro2017.com/call-for-abstracts and the deadline for abstract submission is 30 November.
Submit abstracts indicating proposal number 145, “The Role of Forest History & Cultural Heritage in Re-constructing Nature – a landscape-level exploration of the need for, of approaches to, and case studies of, the recovery, remediation and re-construction of forest and woodland environments in the twenty-first century” in the Congress segment: All Division 9 (Forest Policy and Economics) Meeting as your first choice for inclusion in the programme.
This was our submission, to guide and help your proposals:
Research Group 9.03
The Role of Forest History & Cultural Heritage in Re-constructing Nature – a landscape-level exploration of the need for, of approaches to, and case studies of, the recovery, remediation and re-construction of forest and woodland environments in the twenty-first century
The session will address issues around the following:
1. How knowledge of forest culture heritage and the history of bio-cultural landscapes can better inform restoration projects
2. How restoration and re-construction of forests and woods can increase quality of life for local people, and grow local economies.
3. How landscape-scale re-construction and restoration of ecological functions can enhance carbon capture, reduce soil erosion, biodiversity loss, and vulnerability to exotic invasions, and help mitigate climatic change impacts and grow resilience
4. The role of forest and woodland heritage and history in awareness raising and knowledge transfer to the political process
The need & relevance:
Forest and woodland landscapes have suffered dramatic changes and drastic declines during the twentieth century. At last, there has been growing recognition of the need for major and large-scale remediation of declines and their environmental, social and economic consequences. However, increased awareness of the significance of the bio-cultural nature of forest and woodland resources has challenged many conceptual positions leading to changed policy directions and national and international levels. The importance of understanding the history, heritage and bio-cultural nature of landscape has proved increasingly important in driving effective and sustainable re-construction projects. The session will present a balance of case studies and associated research from around the world in order to examine these issues. There will be a publication resulting from the session to help knowledge transfer, awareness raising and policy change.
The event will link to a major UK-conference in 2018 on ‘Wilder Visions – re-constructing nature’ (see <http://www.ukeconet.org/> www.ukeconet.org)
Proposed by:
Professor Ian D. Rotherham, Sheffield Hallam University, UK
Supported as a scientific committee by:
Dr Elisabeth Johann, Austria
Dr Tomasz Samojlik, Mammal Research Institute, Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland
Dr Simay Kırca, University of Istanbul, Turkey
Professor Mauro Agnoletti, GESAAF, Università di Firenze, Italy
Dr Jiri Woitsch, Institute of Ethnology, ASCR, Prague, Czech Republic
Assistant Professor Alper Çolak, University of Istanbul, Turkey
Dr Péter Szabó, Institute of Botany, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Brno, Czech Republic
And by the wider membership of 9.03
Whilst we do not yet have actual presentation titles, we will obviously encourage a mix of younger presenters from a diversity of countries and a balance of genders. Furthermore, in order to encourage a broad participation we will host a poster paper display associated with the meeting and encourage submissions to the publication.
**Please circulate this call as widely as possible through your extensive networks – many thanks in anticipation!
Ian

Brochure: attached
The world today is undergoing rapid socio-economic and technological changes, which have implications for the forest and environment sector, in turn affecting the ecological, economic and social well being of the people. The forestry sector must keep pace and adapt to these changes. The "Commonwealth" refers to the Commonwealth of Nations, an association of 53 sovereign nations that works together to achieve international goals such as Peace, Democracy and Consensus-building, Law, Human Rights and Development, Environmentally Sustainable Economic Development with greater trust and mutual understanding. Environment and forests are global resources and need to be focused upon by the global fraternity due to the pressures they are under as a result of the alarming growth in the human population, pressures that are being exacerbated by climate and environmental change. The year 2017 will be a key occasion for forestry professionals, academicians and all those interested in and associated with forestry sector in the Commonwealth; they will gather and share their experiences with a view to learn and develop a vision for the future that will involve inclusive and sustainable growth and development. The commonwealth forestry conferences have been held since 1920, when the first (Empire) Forestry Conference was held in London. Since then, the conferences have been held regularly to discuss various aspects of management of forests and focus the action on the changing priorities of the forestry sector.
The 19th Commonwealth Forestry Conference is scheduled to be held at Forest Research Institute, Dehradun, India from 3rd to 7th April, 2017. The ICFRE and FRI will be the Focal point of the conference, with support from MOEF & CC, Government of India and Commonwealth Forestry Association. The major theme of the conference will be: "Forests for Prosperity and Posterity"
Abstract submission
Abstract submission will be open until 7 November 2016, at <http://www.cfc2017.in/call-for-papers/> http://www.cfc2017.in/call-for-papers/, containing detailed instructions on how to proceed. The sub-themes are:
1. Biodiversity conservation and management
2. Livelihood and economic security from forests
3. Diversification, multiple use and sustainable harvest
4. Good governance in forestry
5. Forests and climate change
6. Forest and water
The CFC-2017 Secretariat is looking forward to receiving your abstracts!

Subject: Congress call for abstracts now open
Dear Vitor Afonso Hoeflich,
Thank you again for organizing a session at the upcoming IUFRO 125th
Anniversary Congress in Freiburg Germany, 19-22 September, 2017.
I would like to let you know that the call for abstracts is now open at
http://iufro2017.com/call-for-abstracts and the deadline for abstract
submission is 30 November. Now would be a good time for you to contact
prospective speakers for your session and ask them to submit their
abstracts indicating proposal number *116*, *“9.05.08 - Forest and Natural
Resources Policy and Governance in Latin America and the Caribbean”* in the
Congress segment: *All Division 9 (Forest Policy and Economics) Meeting* as
their first choice for inclusion in the program.
As the abstract submission deadline approaches, we will be contacting you
again to provide you with information on how to log into the Congress
database. You will be asked to log in from *1-15 January* and review the
abstracts submitted to your session. When you login you will be presented
with a list of abstracts that have been submitted for inclusion in your
session. You will then indicate which sessions that you wish to include.
The Congress program will include time slots ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 hours
in length. We anticipate that most presentations will be 15 minutes in
length. If your session receives an extremely large number of presentation
submissions, it may be possible for us to allocate more than one time slot.
I apologize that the 1-15 January review period may be a time when several
of you may be unavailable. If that is going to be the case, please contact
me to designate an alternative reviewer of abstracts proposed for your
session.
Thanks for your assistance and let me know if you have any questions.

FYI
Dear all,
The call for abstracts for session 160 *“Wood based fuels for transports
- conditions for their market entry and impacts on the wood-using sector
and climate change mitigation”*in IUFRO2017 conference in Freiburg
(19-22.9.2017) is now open in the Congress segment: All Division 9
(Forest Policy and Economics). The more detailed description of the
session is given in the end of this message.
Please consider submitting an abstract! For that, go to
http://iufro2017.com/call-for-abstracts/.The deadline for submission is
30 November.
We are looking forward to your possible contribution to the session and
meeting you next year in Freiburg!

*Session description *
Constraining climatic warming to 2 C calls for drastic actions that
reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The required shift to low carbon regime
poses significant challenges in all frontiers, but in particular in the
transportation sector. Transporting goods and people produces globally
14 % of the anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. In the EU, their
share is even higher, one fourth. Despite increased electrification
taking place in the road and rail transports, fueling part of the
vehicle fleet, vessels and airplanes with biofuels seems to be
necessary. Technologies for producing second generation liquid biofuels
from lignocellulosic biomass are advancing and it is likely that
increasing amount of the fuels used in transportation will be produced
from woody raw materials like forest chips and round wood on the side of
other biomass sources.
The session aims at presenting research results focusing on the
questions like, under which conditions will the wood based liquid
biofuels become important part of the forest sector’s production palette
and what are the likely consequences of the market penetration of
wood-based liquid biofuels on other wood-using sectors (forest
industries and heat and power production), on wood markets or on
forestry. Furthermore, assessing the resulting contribution of liquid
wood-based fuels to climate change mitigation is of crucial importance.
Contributions providing quantitative assessment for these questions
globally or regionally are welcomed. Sectoral modeling approaches are
preferred but not required.
