IUFRO The Advocate for Forest Science.
Forest communication experts from 14 countries met in Freiburg, Germany, in 2006 to discuss the most suitable instruments for communicating forest science and give recommendations for specific communication activities of IUFRO. Positive examples from around the world show that forest science has a potential to become part of the communication between stakeholders, the media and the public. However, success means that communication must become a daily task for forest science institutions and IUFRO.
