SUMMARY:Nigerian Forestry Students & Graduates Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:According to FAO\, a changing society changes its demands on forests. Although global interests in forest are translated into international forest or environmental issues (treaties on biodiversity\, certification of forest management or products\, etc.) changes of demands at the national level are different.  \nForestry education in different countries is undergoing changes according to the national settings. While in some countries the number of students is growing or at least stable\, in others the number of students is declining. As a consequence\, funding for forestry education might decline and forestry education institutes are at risk in some countries. \nJoin us on the Forestry Roundtable for the Month of February as we host Alex Onatunji\, the IFSA coordinator\, Joint IUFRO-IFSA Task Force on Forest Education and a ERASMUS MEDFOR Scholar. Alex will be helping us understand the CURRENT STATE OF FORSTRY EDUCATION IN AFRICA: A YOUTH PERSPECTIVE. \nAdditionally\, Alex will be sharing his story on how he got into forestry and the opportunities forestry students and graduates in Africa can maximize. \nYou can join the session via zoom using this link: https://zoom.us/j/91319001154 or using ID: 91319001154.

SUMMARY:Webinar - Forestry and Agriculture - Better Together?
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, we want to discuss Agroforestry as a tool for Sustainable Development\, Food Security\, and Ecological Restoration/Preservation. \nTherefore we have invited Joana Amaral Paulo from ISA/CEF and EURAF who will discuss modern and traditional agroforestry systems and practices in view of agroforestry systems as a means of reducing rural poverty and avoiding rural exodus as well diversity of the outputs of production as a way of economics and food security. \nSecond speaker\, Meine van Noordwijk from IUFRO will discuss the integration of trees on agricultural land and pasture (agroforest and silvopasture) and talk about the potential of agroforestry on the restoration of degraded landscapes and as a provider of ecosystem services. \nFurthermore\, Thuan Sarzynski (Supagro Montpellier and Youth in Landscapes Initiave) and Laura Deal (TRANS SUSTAIN) will join the webinar and join the speakers on discussing this thematic.

SUMMARY:Nigeria Forestry Students and Graduates Roundtable Session
DESCRIPTION:More than a decade ago\, a forestry student from Nigeria decided to email the IFSA secretariat in Germany. He wanted to find out how his University (Federal University of Technology Akure\, Nigeria) can become a member of the International Forestry Students Association (IFSA). This singular act of courage and good spirit brought IFSA to Nigeria and one of the foremost countries to join from Africa[1]. \nHe did not stop only at his University becoming a member of IFSA\, but  was instrumental in the organisation of the first Northern Africa Regional Meeting in April 2009 in Nigeria. He faithfully and dutifully served IFSA in the following capacities. \n\nThe Sub-region Western Africa Representative in 2008 – 2009;\nLiaison Officer to CFA (Commonwealth Forestry Association) in 2009 – 2010; and\nHead of Sub-Commission UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) in 2010 – 2011.\n\nThe man is none other than  Dr. Julius Adewopo\, a Postdoctoral Fellow and Geospatial Analyst at International Institute for Tropical Agriculture (IITA). \nLeaders are born and leaders are made\, he did not stop serving students in 2011. A ready example is Samuel Oluwafemi Ayanleye\, a Masters of Wood Science candidate and a MasterCard Foundation Scholar at University of British Columbia (UBC Canada). He attested that Dr. Julius Adewopo was one of the individuals that provided the much needed mentorship when he so perturbed about getting admission to study a “strange course of study’’ – Forestry back in 2012[2]. \nDr. Julius Adewopo is very concerned about the future of the Forestry profession in Nigeria and the world at large as well as the organizer of the Nigeria Forestry Students and Graduates Roundtable Session – Meshach Aderele and Olaoluwa Israel Adetula. He has agreed to speak to Forestry Students in Nigeria once more via Zoom by this weekend on Saturday 6 June 2020 by 1pm GMT+1. \nAlex Bimbo Onatunji\, Coordinator\, IUFRO-IFSA Joint Taskforce on Forest Education and the lead researcher in the Young Africa Forestry Professionals Publication Project[3] would also be making a presentation about the project too. The support offered by IFSA is really appreciated. \nI guess you don’t want to miss the scholarship offers available just for attending the programme too. Kindly indicate your interest to attend via this form – http://bit.ly/maxrelevance and join the train. Students from other countries are also welcome to attend the meeting. \n \nAlex Bimbo Onatunji writes this blog post from Nigeria. He can be reached via alex.onatunji@ifsa.net; alexonatunji@gmail.com and +2348102394713. \n[1] https://ifsa.net/the-africa-we-desire-for-forestry-students/ \n[2] https://ifsa.net/forestry-is-not-very-glamorous-in-some-african-countries-an-interview-with-samuel-oluwafemi-ayanleye/ \n[3] https://ifsa.net/ifsa-iufro-africa-book-project/ \n

SUMMARY:International Day of Biodiversity: our solutions are in Nature - Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Since its creation\, in 1993\, the International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB) aims to raise awareness for the importance of Biological Diversity\, who doesn’t only cover plant and animal species diversity but also genetic differences within the species as well as the ecosystems that host this species and their complex interactions. \nThis year’s theme is Our Solutions are in Nature\, which can be understood in two senses\, the first one being that we should follow nature’s example of exploiting a resource without threatening it’s sustainability. The second one is that we should take nature’s example of establishing complex interactions within various levels\, emphasizing the need for solidarity and cooperation. \nIn this webinar\, Luísa Falcão\, from GYBN Brazil\, and Diego Alonso Portugal del Pino\, from the IUCN CEM\, will discuss the role of youth leaders\, the scientific community and of those influencing public policies on the battle for a diverse and sustainable future. \nThe event will be live-streamed on the IFSA Facebook page. \nFollow the Facebook event of the IFSA IDB webinar for updates.

SUMMARY:Forest Policy Literacy Series
DESCRIPTION:Forests and the European Commission: Introduction into FLEGT-VPA and ‘Embodied’ Deforestation\nSpeaker: Argyro Zerva; European Commission; Directorate General for Environment; Multilateral Environmental Cooperation\nThe European Commission (EC) continues to develop various instruments that aim to reduce the European Unions (EU) international impact on forest degradation and destruction. In this webinar we want to improve our understanding of two particularly promising instruments and developments. First of all\, we will receive an input on a legally binding trade agreement\, called Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA)\, which allows Forest Law Enforcement Governance and Trade (FLEGT) licenses to be issued. VPA-FLEGT aims to ensure the provision of legally sourced wood from timber-producing countries outside the EU. Why is this specific system believed to deliver positive results? What are the current developments? Can we already see results in countries where VPA-FLEGT is established? \nSecondly\, we focus on the legislative possibilities and current developments within the EU to reduce ‘embodied’ deforestation. This form of deforestation entails the impact of European market demands of products that drive deforestation abroad such as meat\, soy\, cacao or coffee. How can the European Community policies\, legislative measures or other initiatives tackle this problem? Following our deep dive\, we will ask our viewers to engage in a discussion with our expert through a moderated Q&A session. \nRegister for webinar \nBackground information \nVPA-FLEGT \n\nhttp://www.euflegt.efi.int/vpa\nResults Cameroon\, Ghana and Indonesia: http://www.cifor.org/publications/pdf_files/Reports/FLEGT-VPA-Report.pdf\n\nEmbodied Deforestation \n\nhttps://ec.europa.eu/environment/forests/impact_deforestation.htm\nhttps://ec.europa.eu/environment/forests/pdf/feasibility_study_deforestation_kh0418199enn_main_report.pdf\n\nled by:
