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. ********************** posted by Brigitte Burger, IUFRO Headquarters on behalf of: Nicole Kalas, nicole.kalas(a)usys.ethz.ch, Ecosystem Management, Department of Environmental Systems Science, ETH Zürich
