Educators Forum webinar Feb 15, 2018
You are invited to join the second webinar of the Educators Forum. This
forum was created to bring together forestry teachers around the world to
share ideas on teaching practices, topical issues in forestry education
along with potential collaborations are highly welcome.
In the mist of climate change and all the pressure of forestry we need to
recognize our role since we are educating our future forestry leaders. Your
participation is extremely important and pertinent.

The <https://www.iufro.org/science/task-forces/forest-education/> Joint
IUFRO-IFSA Task Force on Forest Education is now to entering its second
phase after the successful completion of the inaugural research project (see
<https://foresteducation.wordpress.com/2017/09/20/global-outlook-on-forest-e
ducation/> Global Outlook on Forest Education (GOFE). As we move the GOFE to
its second phase, one of the core aims is to make information on forestry
education globally accessible. A first step toward this aim involves the
creation of a network of forest-related educators facilitating the
dissemination and sharing of best teaching practices.

Dear IUFRO Landscape Ecology WP members,
Please keep in mind that the deadline for the submission of proposals
for sessions at the IUFRO 2018 Posadas conference on "Adaptive
Management for Forested Landscapes in transformation" is February 3,
2018. Also, forum proposals need to be submitted until March 20, 2018.
This conference will highlight accelerated changes imprinted in our
planet within the Anthropocene. Transformation of forest use that is
occurring in response to the pressures of globalization, population
growth, resource scarcity and ecological degradation are part of the
BIG challenges ahead. Biodiversity is essential to human well-being,
but people have been reducing biodiversity throughout human history.
Loss of species and degradation of ecosystems are likely to further
accelerate in the coming years. Nonetheless, global goals to reduce
the rate of biodiversity loss have mostly not been achieved. It is
essential to take into account ecological, economic and functional
values of the landscape to improve planning and decision-making.
Operational solutions are needed to reconciling biodiversity
conservation in the light of increasing demands of natural resources
and land.
