This webinar will present four approaches to forest conservation, from the scientific, applied and communication perspectives.
With Lorena Gomez (IRNASE-CSIC, Spanish National Research Centre) we will understand how the microbial diversity of both plants and soil can support healthy forests. Yildiray Lise (DKM Nature Conservation Centre – Türkiye) will present a Turkish approach in managed forests, and Serena Corezzola (DREAM Italia) will present the GoProForMED project, which aims to establish a transnational conservation strategy with close-to-nature models. Finally, Leila Rossa Mouawad (American University of Beirut) will discuss the power of communication in forestry and how it can be used to boost conservation effectiveness.
These webinars offer the opportunity to explore the key issues for research, policy and practice in the weeks leading up to 8th Mediterranean Forest Week. Through the webinars, pertinent points of discussion will be identified for subsequent debate during the 8MFW.
This is your opportunity to join the discussion about forest adaptation, biodiversity, wildfires, and green cities, in the context of the week’s global theme on sustainable and resilient Mediterranean forests.
The 8MFW will start where the webinars leave off: outputs from the webinars will be used, together with the results of the discussion during the plenary sessions and the content of the presented posters, to feed into the High-Level Segment on day 4 of the conference.
