			<title>International Symposium on Pine Wilt Disease</title>
			<description><![CDATA[From 2009-07-20 to 2009-07-23, Nanjing, China, IUFRO Unit(s) involved: 7.02.10<br />
Pine wilt disease has become a worldwide thread to forest ecology and international trade. Human activities involving the movement of wood and wood products may be considered the single most important factor in the long range spread of the causal agent, the Pinewood Nematode. Despite the dedicated and concerted actions of government agencies of all countries suffering from the disease, this disease continues to spread.  Research on systematics, diagnostics of the nematode and biology, ecology and modeling of the insect vectors, physiology and resistance of the host tree and interactions between the nematode and its associated microbe has progressed since the 2006 IUFRO Symposium on PWN in Lisbon, Portugal. The new findings and novel technology on the disease have contributed or will contribute to reduce its damage and thus protect our forest ecosystems and forest economy. The objectives of this symposium are to summarize the most recent progress on scientific research and management of the disease and to encourage information exchange internationally among the scientists and decision makers.]]></description>

			<title>The 2nd International Conference on Conservation of Forest Genetic Resources in Siberia (CFGRS-2009): Genetics of sustainable and productive forest trees under anthropogenic effects and global climate change</title>

The major objective of the conference is to establish an informal scientific community that would help to develop an efficient strategy for conservation and sustainable use of forest genetic resources in Siberia. The organizers follow one of the recommendations of the first conference held in Barnaul in 2007 that was written in the resolution: &quot;Consider it expedient to organize regular meetings on the study and conservation of forest genetic resources and conduct these meetings in Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Tomsk, Vladivostok, and Yekaterinburg in the following years, respectively, taking into consideration the biospheric importance of boreal forests and the extensiveness of experimental populations and sites in Siberia&quot;. The organizers hope that the conference will continue the good traditions established by the first conference. ]]></description>

			<title>Conserving and Enhancing Productivity of Forests in the Genomics Era</title>
			<description><![CDATA[From 2010-03-08 to 2010-03-12, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, IUFRO Unit(s) involved: 2.04.01, 2.04.10<br />
Forests host most of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity and are important for industries as well as billions of rural people. In addition to wood and non-wood products, forests also provide foods that supplement what is obtained from agriculture, thus increasing food security. In the fast developing Asia Pacific region, tropical forests and forest genetic resources are threatened by deforestation, forest fragmentation and habitat degradation as a result of unsustainable harvesting of forest products and the conversion of forests to other land uses. This conference will showcase advances in genomics and genetics research for forest species with emphasis on tropical forest species for sustainable management and utilisation. It will bring together molecular, population, ecological, conservation and quantitative geneticists, managers and professional foresters to exchange the latest information and technologies and strengthen collaboration.]]></description>

The context of environmental and natural resource politics is changing. More than ever before, governmental actors lack the powers to deliver the required policy results on their own. If decisions cannot, or shall not, be imposed by hierarchy, and co-ordination cannot be left to market mechanisms, other means of co-ordination are needed.]]></description>

			<title>24th IUFRO Conference for Specialists in Air Pollution and Climate Change Effects on Forest Ecosystems: Adaptation of Forest Ecosystems to Air Pollution and Climate Change</title>
			<description><![CDATA[From 2010-03-22 to 2010-03-26, Antalya, Turkey, IUFRO Unit(s) involved: 7.01.00<br />
The aim of the conference is to integrate the main problems emerging due to climate change and air pollution. Both issues have potential to affect hydrology and hydrochemistry of forest ecosystems.

The focus of the meeting is on research, monitoring, and modelling of air pollution and climate change impacts on forests and forest ecosystem services. In particular, responses to anthropogenic stressors -such as elevated CO2 and O3, enhanced nitrogen and acidic deposition - and scenarios of climate change - such as altered temperature and moisture regimes, extreme events, increased wildfire - will be emphasized.]]></description>

Information collected for one purpose is now useful for more - there are many examples - airborne LiDAR collected for productivity assessment can also be used for operations planning for the establishment of the next rotation; defining environmental protection zones etc; data used by harvesters for optimisation purposes can be collected from harvesters &amp; used for developing product prediction models.. The objective of this conference is to review the latest research and practical developments relating to data integration from different sources. The conference program will consist of six plenary sessions with an in-conference field-tour.]]></description>

Extension, technology transfer, outreach, knowledge transfer and science application are terms that have one thing in common: providing old and new knowledge to those who can use it to improve their individual, family and community well-being. This may involve conveying highly technical science findings to non-science audiences, engaging participants in peer-to-peer learning opportunities, providing information to broad sectors of society, or working with the media to deliver information in ways that readers and listeners find useful.]]></description>

Worldwide, humans interact with the environment to make their living, create artifacts, recreate, reflect their belief systems, and to survive. Humans have changed the face of the Earth considerably and have experienced both resilience and degradation of natural systems. Environmental historians in many fields study these interactions and aim their explorations toward a sustainable future.]]></description>
