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.

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

Dear IUFRO Landscape Ecology WP members,
The CALL FOR ABSTRACTS for the IUFRO Conference “Adaptive Management
for Forested Landscapes in Transformation“, October 1-5, Posadas,
Misiones, Argentina, is now OPEN:
http://iufro2018posadas.com/sessions/call-for-abstracts/
The deadline is April 30th.
This conference will highlight accelerated changes imprinted in our
planet within the Anthropocene. We welcome presentations and posters
targeting forest changes and landscape transformation as a consequence
of increasing pressures of globalization, population growth, resource
scarcity and ecological degradation -the BIG challenges ahead.
Operational solutions and state of the art methods are at the centre
of the conference.
Within the framework of this Conference we will focus on key topics to
assess problems but also to find solutions towards a better future in
forested landscapes.
Also, the Call for Forums is still open:
http://iufro2018posadas.com/call-for-sessions-and-forums/

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.
