*IUFRO Podcast: Branching out: What Makes a Forest Healthy?*
What defines a "healthy forest"? According to experts on the latest episode
of IUFRO's "Branching Out" podcast, the answer depends entirely on your
objectives. For a forest managed for timber, any insect or disease that
reduces wood quality is a negative influence. However, in a native forest
managed for biodiversity, these same agents can be beneficial, recycling
nutrients and resetting the ecosystem.
In Episode 7, host Jose Bolaños (IUFRO HQ) and co-host Raghav Sharma from
the International Forestry Students' Association (IFSA) spoke with Tod
Ramsfield (Natural Resources Canada/University of Alberta) and Maartje
Klapwijk (Swedish University of Agricultural Science), Co-Coordinators of
Division 7, Forest Health. They explained that their Division focuses on
the interactions between trees and harmful biotic impacts, which are
broadly divided into forest pathology (diseases, often caused by fungi) and
forest entomology (insects).

*IUFRO Podcast: From Tree Only to Participation*
We're excited to invite you to "Branching Out: The Forest Podcast," Season
2, Episode 6, where we talk about the work of IUFRO's Division 6: Social
Aspects of Forests and Forestry. Hosted by Jose Bolaños, IUFRO HQ, and
Ngozi Edum, IFSA, this episode features Purabi Bose, Co-Coordinator of
Division 6.
For too long, the social dimension of forests and forestry was seen as a
"soft skill", with people's participation often overlooked. This episode
addresses that challenge, emphasizing that people's participation is
crucial. You'll uncover how Division 6 serves as a key platform, fostering
cooperation and interdisciplinary communication within the scientific
community.
Purabi Bose highlights the evolution of social aspects, moving from
government-run programs to a focus on community-based forest management and
conservation, especially involving local and Indigenous communities. Learn
about recent scientific developments, including how funding is now
increasingly decentralized and directed to local communities, and the
growing emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion in forest work.
The discussion touches upon critical topics researched by Division 6, such
as forest recreation, nature-based tourism, conflict resolution, urban
forestry, gender in forest science, forest education, and rural governance.
This is an opportunity to explore how these social elements are not
peripheral but central to sustainable forestry.
Don't miss this insightful conversation that calls for more voices and
diverse ideas to highlight the social aspects of forests and forestry. Tune
in to Branching Out: the forest podcast! Listen wherever you enjoy your
podcasts, and don't forget to follow us!

*TECHNICAL PAPER of Working Party 2.08.04: Proceedings of the 14th Biennial
Short Rotation Woody Crops International Conference*
The Short Rotation Woody Crops International Conference is a biennial
meeting of the Short Rotation Woody Crops Operations Working Group with the
aim of promoting information exchange and collaborative efforts for short
rotation woody crop (SRWC) operations and research. The 14th biennial Short
Rotation Woody Crops International was hosted by the University of Missouri
Center for Agroforestry from May 13-16, 2024 in Columbia, MO.
A joint meeting of the Short Rotation Woody Crops International Conference
and the Poplar and Willow Council of Canada (PWCC), the 2024 conference
brought together members of leading SRWC and agroforestry organizations,
including the University of Missouri Center for Agroforestry, the
International Commission on Poplars and Other Fast-Growing Trees Sustaining
People and the Environment (IPC) Working Party on Environmental and
Ecosystem Services (WP-ENV), the International Union of Forest Research
Organizations (IUFRO) Working Party 1.03.00 (Short Rotation Forestry

and the IUFRO Working Party 2.08.04 (Physiology and Genetics of Poplars and
Willows
<http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…>
).
With the theme of "*The Future is Green: Integrating Short Rotation Woody

information exchange and fostering collaboration for integrating SWRC into
agroforestry systems.
Additionally, unique to this conference, there were multiple
student-focused initiatives throughout, including:
1) the first ever Woody Crops Scholars Program,
2) a student career panel discussion, and
3) a student presentation competition.
These initiatives enhanced student participation and engagement at the
conference. The conference consisted of 2 plenary presentations, 31 oral

*Forests to fall victim to “the Humpty Dumpty effect”: leading scientists
reveal a precautionary tale <#m_-3106213089762013594_>*
- A collapsed society and economy cannot be 'put back together again',
scientists warn in the International Union of Forest Research
Organizations' latest report.
- The report explores for the first time, the role of forests in
upholding and enhancing the resilience of social and economic systems.
- Science shows that regardless of proximity to forests, global
economies and societies rely on forests in deeply complex ways, and
political shifts can leave forest socio-ecological systems extremely
vulnerable.
- 'Business as usual' policy making will fail. Scientists are
recommending proactive, bottom-up, long-term approaches over short-term
economic gain, to preserve the foundations of society.

.
*Vienna, 5 June 2025* - A global report on the role of forests in providing
economic and social resilience, has revealed that the rapid pursuit of
economic growth, coupled with a critical misunderstanding of how forests
can preserve resilience, has set a path for undoable destruction.
Researchers have dubbed this "The Humpty Dumpty Effect".
Research shows that forests are being pushed to the brink of collapse,
which could send ripple effects across the globe, destabilising societies
and economies, and just as the nursery rhyme warns, collapsed systems
cannot be 'put back together again'.
Launched today on World Environment Day, this report is the first of its
kind. Leading scientists convened by the International Union of Forest
Research Organizations (IUFRO) to explore, for the first time globally, how
forests contribute to social and economic resilience in the face of
disturbance and change, and how societies can, in turn, support and steward
resilient forest systems. Scientists are calling on policymakers to abandon
business as usual and recognise that forests are not isolated systems but
instead exist as social-ecological systems (SES).
In this vein, the world's forests are not immune to global regime shifts.
As political polarisation grows, climate change is becoming deprioritised,
and markets are shifting in response, and changing the way in which we rely
on, manage, and protect our forests. Scientists warn that by failing to
uphold forest resilience, we are pushing them beyond the point of recovery.
*Dr. Craig Allen, Resilience Scientist and Professor at the School of
Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln said:* "It's not
just the trees that fall - it's a whole web of relationships between
species, soil, water, and people that unravels. Once disrupted, these
relationships can't simply be 'replanted'. We need proactive resilience
building now, rooted in science, justice and long-term thinking."
Indigenous Peoples and local communities have long been championed as the
custodians of our forests, often disproportionately impacted by the onset
of climate change. Whilst this is true, the report highlights that
policymakers underestimate the growing ways in which our world is
interconnected.
*Dr. Nelson Grima, Coordinator of the Science-Policy Programme at IUFRO
said: *"When we destabilise forests, the impacts can be felt across all
regions and economies. Forests are everyone's business - not just those
living nearby. Every person relies on forests to either regulate their
climate, sequester carbon, or to alleviate poverty, ensure food and clean
water or to keep economies stable. It's not about proximity."
IUFRO's report recommends how policymakers can improve and better
understand how forests uphold social and economic resilience in ways that
acknowledge the world's interconnectedness. Economic prosperity cannot be
considered synonymous with improving the resilience of social-ecological
systems, in fact, it's often quite the contrary.
On World Environment Day IUFRO is calling on policymakers and
decision-makers to transform their understanding of the challenges and
solutions our forests face, and to move from reactive, short-term, siloed
decision-making to long-term, proactive, systems-based approaches that
treat forests as part of our social, economic, and environmental fabric.

*IUFRO Annual Report 2024 now available! <#m_-4633141598190667249_>*
The year 2024 was a landmark for IUFRO, highlighted by the 26th IUFRO World
Congress held in Stockholm, Sweden. This Congress was IUFRO's first major
global in-person gathering since the pandemic, and the renewed enthusiasm
for face-to-face interaction brought exceptional energy and vitality to
what became the largest Congress in IUFRO's history.
The event also marked the start of a new Board term and Presidency, which
will continue through to the next IUFRO World Congress in 2029. Set to take
place in Nairobi, Kenya, the first time the Congress will be hosted on the
African continent. Among the first initiatives of the new Board was the
introduction of dual Division leadership, aimed at enhancing gender,
regional, and cultural balance across the organization.
The five thematic pillars of the Congress also serve as the organizing
framework for this Annual Report, under which IUFRO's activities throughout
the year are presented. Beyond the Congress and its rich, diverse
scientific program, IUFRO facilitated a total of 62 meetings in 2024 - 37
held virtually and 25 in person, including five hybrid events.
Throughout the year, IUFRO also presented several major publications,
including three volumes in the IUFRO World Series. The IUFRO Podcast series
continued to thrive, with Season 2 shifting its focus from the Congress
(Season 1) to the Divisions.
A Congress year is also a time to celebrate excellence. Numerous IUFRO
awards were presented in recognition of outstanding research and
distinguished service. Discover who the new IUFRO Honorary Members are and
learn more about this year's award recipients.

*New Podcast Episode: Modelling the Future of Forests*
How can we manage forests when the future is uncertain? That's the
challenge facing the scientists behind IUFRO's Division 4: Forest
Assessment, Modelling and Management. In the latest episode of Branching
Out: the forest podcast, Co-Coordinators Bianca Eskelson and Don Hodges
describe the world of forest data, what it can tell us, and the importance
of interdisciplinary collaboration.
Division 4 plays a critical role in helping us understand how forests grow,
change, and respond to disturbance, from insects and wildfires to droughts
and climate stress. It bridges traditional forest science with cutting-edge
technologies like remote sensing, LiDAR, and AI. Data help us plan and we
need to focus on resources that can be applied.
Listeners will hear how big data supports forest management plans, how
simulation tools offer glimpses of alternative futures, and why uncertainty
and local knowledge still matter. Bianca quotes George Box: "All models are
wrong, but some are useful". Don explains how this Division's work even
stretches into forest economics and employment, addressing global shifts in
value chains and green jobs.
One of the most exciting takeaways? The emergence of AI in forest science.
A new IUFRO Task Force, AI for Forest Science, is exploring how machine
learning, autonomous sensing, and causal inference could transform how we
monitor, predict, and manage forest landscapes.
This episode unpacks the power and limitations of modelling the future of
forests. Because while we can't collect data from tomorrow, we can prepare
for it, thoughtfully and collaboratively. Presented by Jose Bolaños (IUFRO
HQ) and Nele Römer (IFSA).
