Fostering interdisciplinary scientific research at the nexus of forestry, landscape ecology, and socio-ecology, with a focus on understanding and mitigating the complex challenges posed by the Anthropocene. This includes studying how human activities, climate change, biodiversity loss, and land-use changes impact forest ecosystems and landscapes, as well as developing adaptive management strategies that promote ecosystem resilience, sustainability, and equity. Researchers should aim to integrate ecological and social perspectives, addressing both local challenges and global implications, to generate insights that inform sustainable policy-making and conservation efforts.
