CALL FOR PAPERS
Communities, Commodities, and Carbon: Innovations in Tropical Forest Management
Annual conference, January 27-29, 2011
International Society of Tropical Foresters, Yale Student Chapter
Despite sustained efforts to combat global deforestation, tropical forest
management that provides for human livelihoods and conservation remains an
elusive goal. Creative problem solving and knowledge-sharing are key to finding
lasting solutions to this intractable problem. Recent innovations are providing
new approaches in community engagement, market-based strategies for reducing
agricultural encroachment, and carbon-based climate
change mitigation schemes.
On January 27-29, the Yale Chapter of the International Society of Tropical
Foresters will bring together practitioners and researchers from government,
academia, and environmental and development organizations to explore innovations
in tropical forest conservation and management.
We are seeking presenters to share experiences and engage in discussions driven
by questions such as:
��� What are new ideas in community-based forestry? What is the role of
communities in climate change mitigation, and what will the effect of carbon
projects on rural and peri-urban communities be?
��� How can engagement with the supply chains of agricultural commodities (e.g.
with roundtables) reduce deforestation? Where have these approaches shown
tangible results, and where have they failed? What novel strategies are in the
pipeline?
��� What are the major obstacles in assuring REDD+ project permanence? How are
global drivers of deforestation (e.g. timber markets) contributing to
international leakage? What are the latest innovations in remote-sensing
technologies, and what new methods are being devised for more reliable
ground-truthing?
To apply: We encourage abstracts based on primary research, as well as personal
or institutional experience. Selected participants will present full papers
either orally or in a poster session at the conference.
Abstracts should be a maximum of 500 words and contain the following
information:
1. Name(s) of the author(s)
2. Title and abstract of the paper to be presented
3. Institution(s) or organization(s) of author(s)��� affiliation(s)
4. Address, telephone, fax and e-mail of the corresponding author
5. Type of presentation: Full paper and presentation, poster, or either.
Please send abstracts by November 5, 2010 to: yaleistf@gmail.com
Invited speakers will have the option of submitting conference proceedings for
publication in the Journal of Sustainable Forestry.
Who we are: The Yale Chapter of the International Society of Tropical Foresters
participates in a range of social, educational, and professional activities that
promote the sharing of experiences and knowledge related to resource management
in tropical countries. Each year, ISTF organizes a two-day conference at the
Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies in New Haven, Connecticut to
discuss emerging topics in the tropics. For more information please visit
