What Makes Your Forest Unique?

Call for Authors: Open Access Publishing

Embracing a world that respects forestry means respecting all the things that make the forest sustainable. Humans, as the most influencing forest sustainability, is the one who thinks of securing their livelihood. The people created their forest management rules communally, which likely affected their perception of the forest. Many of these practices are still being done in their culture. The culture can be considered ‘knowledge’ because it is a compilation of observation, experimentation, and failure. Portraying the culture of people who live near or in the forest is a way of leveraging the novelty of knowledge itself. Writing is another way of seeing the problem and finding the solution more precisely.  

Knowledge is shaped through millions of pieces of thoughts, observations, findings, failures, and hard work. As future professional foresters, we must find the scattered pieces of knowledge. The “What Makes Your Forest Unique? Book” is a collective project that will be made by IFSA members to tell the world about what unique things happen in their forest. This project aims to give positive input to forestry knowledge from youth.

There is no such wrong knowledge. Let’s find out one of those million pieces of knowledge together. Please submit your application through this link before 30 January 2023. The book is expected to be published in August 2023. The manuscript will be submitted on 1 March 2023 and will be proofread.
