My wild ideas about future forestry management
Dr. Swoyambhu Man Amatya, Deputy Coordinator of the IUFRO Agroforestry Research Group and Chairperson of the Nepal Chapter of the International Society of Tropical Foresters (ISTF) published memories of the IUFRO World Congress 2024 and some of his "wild ideas about future forestry management" in the December issue of the ISTF Quarterly Newsletter.
The Congress theme "Forests & Society Towards 2050" and the scientific exchange at the event prompted him to share his thoughts about forests and climate change, with a special focus on Nepal. "My personal observations on the pattern of tree flowering, composition of forests, wetlands and other ecosystems in different districts of Nepal, show that climate change is taking its toll in all these aspects of forests, forestry and allied subject matters," he wrote.
