*IUFRO Division 3: the 'how' of forestry <#m_8109074004971157973_>*
Forestry is not just about felling trees, but about how we protect,
sustainably manage and restore forests. In the most recent episode of
*Branching
Out: the Forest Podcast*, hosts *Jose Bolaños* (IUFRO HQ) and *Dante
Bertocci *(International Forestry Students' Association, IFSA) talk to one
of the Co-Coordinators of the International Union of Forest Research
Organizations' (IUFRO) Division 3 - Forest Operations, Engineering, and
Management.
*René Zamora-Cristales *(Oregon State University and World Resources
Institute), Co-Coordinator of Division 3, explains that this Division
focuses on how forestry activities are carried out - from seed collection
and forest restoration to logging and resource management. He emphasizes
that forest operations go far beyond timber harvesting, playing a key role
in biodiversity conservation and forest landscape restoration.
He also highlights that meeting global restoration targets, such as 350
million ha of forest landscapes by 2030 goal set by the UN Decade on
Ecosystem Restoration, requires careful planning. Without proper operations
and engineering, even well-intentioned restoration efforts can fall short.
Artificial intelligence-powered satellite imagery and drone technology are
helping scientists map forests, analyse tree health, and optimize resource
use. However, René emphasizes that AI remains a decision-support tool -
human expertise and local knowledge remain vital for responsible forest
management.
As we navigate global challenges, Division 3's work reminds us that the
'how' of forestry is just as important as the 'why'.
