Forests in the balance: linking tradition and technology

XXII IUFRO World Congress

8th to 13th August 2005

What was the event?

The theme for the Congress, Forests in the Balance: Linking Tradition and Technology, was jointly developed by the Congress Organising Committee (COC) and Congress Scientific Committee and subsequently signed off by the IUFRO Board:

To create an interest amongst not only scientists but also the full range of stakeholders with an interest in forests and process technology
To reflect the importance of tradition and technology, including the increasing importance of indigenous knowledge
To recognise the role of indigenous peoples, not only as residents but also increasingly as future land managers.
