Efficient processing and utilisation of forest products, trade and taxation, and valuation of forest are key issues to support sustainable conservation and management of forest resources. The group will synthesise latest research on these issues and identify specific new areas for scientific inquiry.
Do you think your career story can inspire others to take up forestry profession in Africa? Are you making an impact in the society as a current student of Forestry in Africa? Are you an outstanding early career professional in the forest sector in Africa?
The training workshop will be conducted by the University of Oxford, SPDC’s partner in organising systematic review training workshops for the forest science community.
Interested scientists are encouraged to register for this online training workshop.
Time: 17:30 - 20:30
