*Online Symposium: Legacy of the Tropical Forest Foundation 19 Jan 2023*
The International Society of Tropical Foresters (ISTF) and the
International Forestry Working Group of the Society of American Foresters
(IFWG-SAF) are offering the online symposium “Legacy of the Tropical Forest
Foundation” on Friday 19 January 2023 for 2.5 hours, at 7-930am Seattle,
10am-1230pm Washington DC, 10pm-1230am Jakarta.
The Tropical Forest Foundation was active from 1990 to 2015, with
independent branches in Brazil, Indonesia, and Guyana, South America,
continuing today. The TFF was a unique forum that engaged industry,
conservation and researchers in productive dialogue about tropical
forestry. The TFF had much impact by developing techniques and
demonstration projects for low impact logging for the tropics, and the
influence of the TFF continues today.
