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.

Dear all,
please feel warmly invited to join the SI "Green and Blue Nexus",
Ecological Processes with Dead-Line September, 30, 2018 (more

Please take also note on the below invitation to test and comment the
software Circuitscape.
Kind greetings

Hello Landscape Ecologists!
Please consider the following message and survey request from
colleague Kim Hall:
Circuitscape (http://www.circuitscape.org/) is a widely-used open
source software program that borrows ideas from circuit theory to
assess landscape connectivity. While the range of applications for
Circuitscape has continued to grow since it was first developed by
Brad McRae and Viral Shah over a decade ago, computational limitations
hinder its ability to solve large problems. Before Brad McRae passed
away from cancer in July 2017, he received funding from NASA’s Earth
Science Applications: Ecological Forecasting program to lead a team
with Viral, now at Julia Computing, to overhaul the software and add
functionality. Viral and several of Brad’s colleagues at The Nature
Conservancy (TNC), with help from many of Brad’s friends and
collaborators, are continuing this important work, and we need your
help! If you are a Circuitscape user, or would like to be, please
follow this survey link to learn more about this project, and provide
your input -- https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CircuitscapeUsers
Thank you! Kim Hall, The Nature Conservancy. kimberly.hall(a)tnc.org
