🌳 Webinar: Human Dimensions of Forest Landscape Restoration 🌿 Date: July 16, 2024 Time: 10:00 AM EDT Registration link: https://lnkd.in/dnyrGfhf Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) is crucial for reversing global forest loss and degradation. But are we fully considering the human element in these efforts? Join us on 16 July for a webinar exploring the findings of the new report "Human Dimensions of Forest Landscape Restoration" promoted by IUFRO - International Union of Forest Research Organizations, WWF, SER, and the University of Lausanne - UNIL on the human dimensions of FLR. Key topics include: • Essential activities for enabling restoration • Negotiating long-term objectives and resolving conflicts • Understanding motivations behind forest restoration or destruction • Factors influencing public support for restoration efforts The report was developed in collaboration with 11 social scientists and practitioners across diverse institutions including: Stephanie Mansourian (Lead Author), Mercy Derkyi, Ida Nadia DJENONTIN, PhD, Marlène Elias, PhD, Johan Oldekop, Pablo Pacheco, Janice Burns, Anita T. B. Diederichsen, Michael Kleine, Daniel Vallauri, and Bethanie Walder. Discover how integrating human dimensions can enhance the success and sustainability of your restoration projects.
