Branching out: the forest podcast - Episode 6
Dear Reader of IUFRO News:
The season finale of our podcast, The way forward for forests, science and
people
<https://www.iufro.org/news/article/2024/04/29/branching-out-episode-6-april-2024/>,
is out! And in this special episode, *Jose Bolaños* from IUFRO HQ talked
with *Daniela Kleinschmit*, professor of forest and environmental policy at
the University of Freiburg, Germany, and incoming President of IUFRO; *Woodam
Chung*, professor of forest engineering at Oregon State University, U.S.A.,
and incoming IUFRO Vice-President for Divisions; and *Isabelle Claire Dela
Paz*, President of the International Forestry Students’ Association (IFSA).
One of the highlights of the discussion was the outlook on the upcoming *IUFRO
World Congress <https://iufro2024.com/>* in Stockholm this summer. Our
guests shared their expectations for this global gathering, emphasizing the
importance of collaboration and knowledge-sharing. From climate change to
biodiversity loss, they underlined the myriad of challenges facing the
forest research community in the coming years and highlighted innovative
approaches to tackle those.
*Daniela*, who is currently Vice-President for Divisions, stressed the
importance of effectively communicating scientific findings to policymakers
and the public, as well as the role of social innovation.
*Woodam*, Coordinator of IUFRO Division 3 – *Forest operations engineering
and management <https://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-3/30000/>*,
introduced Forestry 5.0, which integrates cutting-edge technologies like
artificial intelligence and remote sensing to revolutionize forest
management practices.
*Isabelle *shared strategies for attracting young people, including
mentorship programs and initiatives for youth advocacy integrating
youth-led initiatives into the broader agenda of the forest sector.
As we look towards the future of our forests, it becomes clear that
collaboration, innovation, and youth engagement will be essential in
addressing the complex scenarios ahead.
We are grateful to our guests and listeners of this episode and the whole
season for sharing their insights. Stay tuned for more episodes in our next
