  OBJECTIVE    2:   

Promote knowledge exchange among researchers, students, professionals, and stakeholders interested in forest ecosystems, encouraging regionally and globally relevant insights

Promoting dynamic knowledge exchange across disciplines and sectors—among researchers, students, professionals, policy-makers, and stakeholders—to advance a deeper understanding of forest ecosystems. Facilitating cross-regional and global collaborations will ensure that scientific insights, traditional ecological knowledge, and innovative practices are shared, promoting inclusive and practical solutions to regional and global challenges such as deforestation, forest degradation, and biodiversity conservation.

Additional aspects to explore:

  • Bridging Research and Practice: Developing communication strategies to ensure that scientific
    findings are accessible to practitioners and decision-makers.

​

  • Leveraging Technology and Innovation: Utilizing digital platforms, AI, and remote sensing for
    real-time monitoring and knowledge dissemination in forestry.

​

  • Cross-Regional Learning: Encouraging the exchange of traditional ecological knowledge
    between indigenous communities and scientific researchers.
