The 2014 International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) World Congress took place together with the Society of American Foresters’ 94th Annual Convention and the Canadian Institute of Forestry’s Annual Meeting. It was one of the largest collections of leading forestland managers, scientists, and decision makers in one place.
A large delegation of CIFOR scientists participated in the event, including Robert Nasi, CIFOR’s Deputy Director General and Acting Director of the CGIAR Research Program on Forests, Trees and Agroforestry; and the team leader for CIFOR’s Latin America hub, Manuel Guariguata, who was recently appointed IUFRO’s Latin America President. Sixteen CIFOR scientists led expert panels and participated with presentations in different sessions.
