Online Symposium: Legacy of the Tropical Forest Foundation 19 Jan 2023
The International Society of Tropical Foresters (ISTF) and the International Forestry Working Group of the Society of American Foresters (IFWG-SAF) are offering the online symposium “Legacy of the Tropical Forest Foundation” on Friday 19 January 2023 for 2.5 hours, at 7-930am Seattle, 10am-1230pm Washington DC, 10pm-1230am Jakarta.
The Tropical Forest Foundation was active from 1990 to 2015, with independent branches in Brazil, Indonesia, and Guyana, South America, continuing today. The TFF was a unique forum that engaged industry, conservation and researchers in productive dialogue about tropical forestry. The TFF had much impact by developing techniques and demonstration projects for low impact logging for the tropics, and the influence of the TFF continues today.
Symposium information is posted at https://tropicalforesters.org/blog/2024/01/13/online-symposium-legacy-of-th…. Find your time zone at https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html.

SEMINARIO VIRTUAL: Utilizando la plataforma Restor para su proyecto de restauración 10 de abril 2022
Corra la voz sobre su proyecto de restauración para conectarse con colaboradores, financiadores e información geo-relevante. La plataforma Restor (https://restor.eco/) puede ayudarlo con las tres funciones. Al incluir sus proyectos de restauración en esta plataforma, los miembros de la Sociedad Internacional de Forestales Tropicales (ISTF por sus siglas en inglés) y otros ganarán visibilidad de posibles colaboradores, así como de financiadores. Podrán explorar datos ecológicos específicos del sitio para la planificación y el monitoreo de sus proyectos. Restor, ISTF y Terraformation se están uniendo para ofrecer un webinar de capacitación (mismo contenido) en 4 ocasiones para diferentes regiones sobre cómo cargar su proyecto de restauración en la plataforma Restor.
Lunes 10 de abr de 2023 - America Latina (español) 23:00 GMT, 19:00 Puerto Rico, 20:00 este de Brasil, 16:00 oeste de México. Registrase en https://terraformation.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__3IKzxDQRPW7WRZSjn2TWQ

WEBINARS on using the Restor platform for your restoration project
You need to get the word out on your restoration project to connect with
collaborators, funders, and geo-relevant information. The Restor platform
can help you with all three functions. By listing their restoration
projects on the platform, ISTF members will gain visibility to both
potential collaborators and funders. They will be able to explore
site-specific ecological data for planning and monitoring of their
projects. Restor, the International Society of Tropical Foresters, and
Terraformation are teaming up to offer a training webinar (same content) on
4 occasions for different regions on how to load your restoration project
on the Restor platform. Dates and times (find your time zone at
https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html):

will allow us to devote the maximum time to helping you put your
restoration project on the platform.
NOTE: Please have a mouse available to use for the webinar practice
session. It is much easier to navigate the Restor platform with a mouse.

Dear all:
We have formed a new coordination team for the IUFRO Working Party 4.02.01 on Resource Data in the Tropics. The focus of the Working Party will be on legacy tropical forest data sets: finding them, getting them and their metadata archived in an up-to-date digital format, and getting these data available for use, with appropriate protocols and credit to the sources of the data.
We invite you to join our email list at <https://lists.iufro.org/mailman/listinfo/wp40201/> https://lists.iufro.org/mailman/listinfo/wp40201/ , where we discuss issues related to these datasets.
