"What makes IUFRO DIFFERENT to other organizations that are involved in supporting various aspects of forests and forestry? Here IUFRO’s mandate is very clear in having a focus specifically on research and in doing so globally. There is no other organization that links forest researchers in the way that IUFRO does."

Mike Wingfield – former IUFRO President

"IUFRO plays a key role in facilitating communication and collaboration among researchers from different parts of the world. This is critical to my area of research, which focuses on biological invasions which by nature are a global problem. Information-sharing and international collaboration provides important and powerful resources for effective research on biological invasions of various taxa."

Sandy Liebhold – former IUFRO Division Coordinator

Hear from the IUFRO community.

"My relation with IUFRO started many years ago, mainly to bridge the gap between IALE (International Association for Landscape Ecology) community working on forest related issues and IUFRO.  I’ve been organizing and supporting a myriad of events to stimulate networking between IUFRO and different groups and networks sharing a common holistic vision towards forest management."

Sandra Luque – former IUFRO Division Coordinator

Hear from the IUFRO community.

"I give the credit of my active involvement in the activities of IUFRO to the inspiration received from Prof. Daniela Kleinschmit, former Coordinator of Division 9 and current IUFRO President.  I was a Deputy Coordinator of Division 9 - Forest Policy and Economics, among other things. My involvement in the activities of IUFRO has offered me the right platform to contribute to forest management in both science and practice."

“I have participated in all IUFRO World Congresses since 1976 (except the one in 1981, unfortunately), because IUFRO has benefitted both my professional and my private life enormously.”
