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

will allow us to devote the maximum time to helping you put your
restoration project on the platform.

*Petition on tropical forests - Please sign by 13 March 2023*. (From ISTF
member Plinio Syst) For the International Day of Forests on 21 March 2023,
a group of forest scientists of the Forests and Societies Research Unit of
CIRAD would like to publish an opinion piece on the urgent need to conserve
and safeguard tropical forests. This opinion will be published in the
French online newspaper Reporterre which has about 1.5 million readers per
month.
Please sign the form https://forms.gle/r981va1BNEEz8yfC9 before 13 March
2023, Midnight CET (GMT-1).
Please read the document (English, French, and Spanish Version):
English: Manifesto to save the tropical forests: "We want to live with the
tropical forests"
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1a_UuKuc68ncglcT7DdzVomVLqb1IkfFs/view?usp=…
FRANÇAIS: Manifeste pour la sauvegarde des forêts tropicales: « Nous
voulons vivre avec les forêts tropicales »

You would be signing this opinion piece as an individual but you can also
indicate your institution. The list of signatories and their institution

the opinion piece. We hope that this opinion paper will reach a large

visibility and get opportunities to talk about the urgency in saving the
tropical forests. Please disseminate this message to your scientists and
student networks.
