| Description (Original language) | EVROPSKA NEDJELJA ŠUMA 20 – 24. oktobar 2008. Evropska nedjelja šuma 2008. naglašava doprinos evropskih šuma pri ublažavanju klimatskih promjena, drvnim resursom i obnovljivom energijom, osiguravanju zaliha pitke vode i zaštiti naše životne sredine. Svjetski dan šuma je prvi dan proljeća, međutim na 5. Ministarskoj konferenciji o zaštiti šuma u Europi „Šume za kvalitetu života“ koja se održala od 5. do 7. studenog 2007. godine u Varšavi, ministri odgovorni za šume iz 46 evropskih zemalja proglasili su nedjelju od 20. do 24. oktobra 2008. godine Evropskom nedjeljom šuma, te su ga zajednički organizovali Evropska komisija, Organizacija Ujedinjenih nacija za poljoprivredu i hranu (FAO), Ministarska konferencija o zaštiti šuma u Europi (MCPFE) i Evropska ekonomska komisija Ujedinjenih nacija (UNECE) u bliskoj saradnji sa Predsjedništvom Vijeća Evropske Unije - Francuskom. Evropski nedjelja šuma bit će okosnica nizu manifestacija u Evropi. Na regionalnoj razini, nedjelja će biti obilježena u Rimu i Bruxellesu, a niz događaja na nacionalnoj i lokalnoj razini održat će se u zemljama širom Evrope. U Rimu će se održati niz sastanaka na kojima će učestvovati gore navedene organizacije i ostali evropski partneri iz šumarskog sektora. Događanja u Rimu okupiti će stotine pojedinaca predstavnika vladinih institucija, nevladinih organizacija, istraživačkih instituta, regionalnih i međunarodnih mreža, agencija UN-a i privatnog sektora. Prisustvovati će i predstavnici srednjeg i višeg managementa šumarskog i drugih srodnih sektora iz svih dijelova Evrope. Ovi sastanci će pružiti jedinstvenu priliku da različiti učesnici i šumarski stručnjaci razmijene svoja gledišta i potraže rješenja za neke od najvećih izazova s kojima se danas suočavaju šume i šumarstvo, a to su klimatske promjene, energija i voda. Vezano na događanja u Rimu, u Brusselesu će se 20. oktobra 2008. g. održati sastanci na visokom nivou. Ciljevi Ciljevi Evropska nedjelja šuma su: - naglasiti značaj šuma i šumarskog sektora i njihovog doprinosa razvoju evropskog gospodarstva i društva - podići javnu svijest o važnom doprinosu šuma pri ublažavanju klimatskih promjena, snabdijevanje pitkom vodom i zaštiti životne sredine - uključiti druge sektore u zajednički dijalog o pitanjima vezanima za šume Glavne poruke Evropske šume obogaćuju naše živote i pomažu spašavanju planete. • šume pokrivaju 44% evropskog kopna i nastavljaju se širiti • šume se bore protiv klimatskih promjena kontinuiranim upijanjem i skladištenjem opasnih stakleničkih gasova • u današnjoj promijenjenoj klimi, drvo, naš najstariji obnovljivi izvor materijala i energije, još uvijek je pametan izbor, čak i u 21. vijeku • Evropska nedjelja šuma ima za cilj poboljšati razumijevanje važnosti naših šuma i vrijednosti njihovog korištenja Površina šuma u Evropi povećala se za 13 miliona hektara u zadnjih 15 godina. To je površina otprilike jednaka veličini Grčke – ili više od milion fudbalskih igrališta svake godine. Šume kojima se održivo upravlja obogaćuju naše živote i životnu sredinu na mnogo načina. One stabilizuju naša zemljišta, pružaju stanište našem biljnom i životinjskom svijetu, pročišćuju naš vazduh i vodu, vežu stakleničke gasove, stvaraju prihod i radna mjesta i pružaju nam zdrav prostor za odmor i igru. Održivo upravljanje šumama znači korištenje šumama bez da ih se umanjuje. Evropske šume istovremeno proizvode sve veće količine obnovljive i pouzdane sirovine za gradnju, namještaj, energiju, papir i nebrojene druge svakodnevne upotrebe. Drvna zaliha u Evropskim šumama raste za oko 360 milijona m3 godišnje, dok se trenutno siječe samo dvije trećine tog iznosa. Evropske šume se bore protiv klimatskih promjena Putem fotosinteze, drveće uklanja CO2 iz atmosfere. Ugljendioksid se skladišti u šumskoj biomasi - u trupcima, granama, lišću i korijenju, te u tlu. U šumi kojom se održivo upravlja skladištenje ugljendioksida nikada ne prestaje zbog kontinuirane obnove područja na kojima je izvršena sječa. Čak i nakon što se drvo posiječe, drvni proizvodi nastavljaju skladištiti ugljendioksid. Drvo je također izvor energije sa niskom emisijom ugljendioksida – bolje je za planetu nego korištenje fosilnih goriva. Drvo je pametan izbor Drvo je prirodan, obnovljiv resurs. Trebamo ga više koristiti za energiju i u zamjenu za druge, prema životnoj sredini štetnije materijale. Za proizvodnju drveta potrebno je manje energije i emitira se manje CO2 nego za proizvodnju bilo kojeg drugog široko korištenog građevinskog materijala – a drvo skladišti ugljendioksid toliko dugo koliko postoji građevina. Korištenje više drveta umjesto betona, plastike i čelika moglo bi postići značajan pad u emisijama stakleničkih gasova. Zamjenom 1 m3 betona sa istom zapreminom drveta može se uštedjeti oko 1 tona CO2 ispuštenog u atmosferu. To je otprilike količina CO2 koju ispusti prosječno putničko vozilo nakon što pređe 3 000 km. Nadalje, drvo i drvni proizvodi su jednostavni za ponovnu upotrebu i reciklažu. Sve evropske zemlje su pozvane da na nacionalnom nivou, a u skladu sa ciljevima "Nedelje šuma", organizuju skupove posvećene problematici šuma i šumarstva. Ovo mogu biti konferencije, forumi, javna dešavanja kao što su šumarski sajmovi, šetnje prirodom i izložbe, simbolična dešavanja kao što je sadnja drveća, medijska dešavanja usmjerena ka unapređenju komunikacije. "Nedelji šuma" posvećen je i WEB sajt (www.EuropeanForestWeek.org) na kome se mogu pronaći informacije o proslavi na nacionalnom i regionalnom nivou. Akcija jesenjeg pošumljavanja NVO “EKO-Leonardo” U našoj zemlji institucije nisu posvetile dovoljno pažnje ovakvim i sličnim nastojanjima savremenog svijeta. Udruženje građana “EKO-Leonardo” iz Priboja, u saradnji sa eko-sekcijama osnovnih i srednjih škola, počinje sa akcijom pošumljavanja krajem meseca oktobra. U ovoj kampanji očekuje se podrška i partnerskih organizacija. U cilju edukacije mladih i podizanja nivoa svijesti o značaju šuma, naši volonteri će održati predavanja u osnovnim i srednjim školama, podijeliti propagandni materijal („KLIMATSKE PROMJENE I ŠUME“) i plakate „Molitva šume“. Jesenja sadnja biljaka će se izvršiti sadnicama četinara : bijeli i crni bor, smrča, jela i sadnicama lišćara: hrasta, bagrema, lipe, javora i jasena.

| Description (English) | French Forest and Tourism Network Association (Forestour) organizes the 5th "Forum of private forests open to public" on October 24th 2008 at the 'Centre forestier', La Bastide des Jourdans, France. In an attempt to reach a permanent and thoughtful dialogue about the issues of tourism in forests and sustainable forest management, Forestour invites to this professional meeting Private forest owners, Forest organisations and administrations members and Professionals from the forest, environment and tourism sectors. It will deal with the issue of the “added value” of tourism in forests and sustainable forest management. There will be discussions on interests and conditions to implement sustainable development, applied in particular to the various functions of forests: wood production, tourism, and environmental protection (mainly through carbon plantations). This Forum will be the occasion to think together, to discuss, to present many forest owner and manager experiences and to exchange visions of sustainable forest management and tourism in forests. |
| Description (Original language) | L'association Forêt Réseau Tourisme (Forestour) organise pour la cinquième année consécutive le "Forum de la Forêt Privée ouverte au Public" le 24 Octobre 2008 au Centre de formations forestières de La Bastide des Jourdans, dans le Vaucluse. Dans une démarche de réflexion globale et de concertation autour de l’accueil du public et de la gestion durable des forêts, Forestour invite à cette journée d’échanges les propriétaires forestiers et tous les acteurs de la forêt, de l’environnement et du tourisme. Nous posons la question de la "valeur ajoutée" de l'accueil du public et de la gestion durable de nos forêts. Il s'agit de débattre ensemble de l’intérêt et des conditions de mise en oeuvre de la gestion durable, appliquée notamment aux différentes fonctions de la forêt : production de bois, accueil du public, et protection de l’environnement (à travers notamment des plantations-puits de carbone). Ce Forum sera l'occasion de réfléchir, discuter, témoigner d'expériences de propriétaires et gestionnaires de forêts et d'échanger les visions de la gestion durable de la forêt et de l'accueil du public en forêt. |

"Aktion Eichhörnchen"
| Dates | 15 October 2008 - 10 December 2008 |
|---|---|
| Location | all federal states of Germany |
| Organiser(s) | WaldSaat e.V. (i.Gr.) |
| Target Audience | Primary school children |
| Description (English) | The Squirrel Forest Campaign ("Aktion Eichhörnchen") gives primary school children the opportunity to literally get hands-on experience of woodlands and the topic of reforestation by inviting them to embark on a mini woodland adventure. The campaign sees playing as a learning activity. The children collect tree “seeds” like acorns or beechnuts and “sow” these on a site which is “in need of repair” (designated for reforestation). In this way the children’s own new, natural seeded forest is created. This is a forest which as well as soaking up harmful carbon dioxide in the future will also instil a sense of self-esteem and the realization that someone SMALL can create something BIG! The organization WaldSaat e.V. (i.Gr.), which was founded on 01.08.2008 in Frankfurt/Main (Germany) works towards promoting an awareness that reforestation - preferably through seeding - is one of today’s most important issues. The organization also aims to widely publicize the Squirrel Forest Campaign which was first launched and successfully put into action by government forest officer Dietmar Gottfriedsen in 1998 in Schleswig-Holstein (about 10,000 participants to date) and to start many more such projects in other regions. |
| Description (Original language) | Die "Aktion Eichhörnchen" bringt Kinder im Grundschulalter mit dem Thema Wald sprichwörtlich in "Berührung", indem sie diese zu einem kleinen Waldabenteuer einlädt. Hierbei sammeln die Kinder in spielerischem Rahmen Baumsamen wie Eicheln oder Bucheckern, und säen diese auf einer erneuerungsbedürftigen Fläche wieder aus. So enststeht ein selbstgemachter, neuer natürlicher Saatwald, der neben seiner zukünftig erheblich gesteigerten CO2-Aufnahme den Kindern bewusst macht, dass auch sie als "Kleine" etwas "Großes" schaffen können. Der am 1.08.2008 in Frankfurt/M. gegründete Verein WaldSaat e.V. (i.Gr.) hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, das Bewusstsein zu fördern, dass die Neuwaldbildung - am besten durch Waldsaat - ein wichtiges Anliegen unserer Zeit ist. Weiter will er die von Staatsförster D. Gottfriedsen erfundene und 1998 zum ersten Mal in Schleswig-Holstein durchgeführte Aktion (bis heute ca. 10.000 Teilnehmer) einer breiten Öffentlichkeit bekannt machen, sowie viele weitere Aktionen in anderen Regionen initiieren und fördern. |

International FAO/ECE/IUFRO Seminar
| Dates | 21 October 2008 - 26 October 2008 |
|---|---|
| Location | Portorož |
| Organiser(s) | FAO/ECE/IUFRO; Slovenian Forestry institute, University of Padua, Republic of Slovenia - Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry ans Food |
| Target Audience | Foresters involved in developing, planning and executing forest |
| Description (English) | The seminar will offer the opportunity to exchange experiences and share information on the state of the art of knowledge for the improvement of forestry infrastructure, its maintenance and use in view of new trends in forest harvesting and wood transport. The objective of the seminar is to provide an international forum for presentations related to the subject matter and to connect advanced scientific methods and modern information technologies with practical engineering and field operations through paper and poster sessions, field excursions and direct contacts among participants, who are supposed to then share their knowledge and information with colleagues in their home countries. The meeting is also intended to become a “twelve-years-after” event of the FAO/ECE/ILO Seminar on Environmentally Sound Road Construction and Wood Transport, held in 1996 in Sinaia – Romania, in particular considering and assessing major opportunities and developments of the sector, which have taken place since then. Although the technical aspects of road construction may not have entirely changed, the role of forests and forestry has. The concept of sustainable forest management has been promoted in many countries, the threat of climate change has become a global concern and the renaissance of the utilization of wood for energy can be witnessed. Forest products and services have regained importance on global markets, and forestry administrations, forest companies and managers are streamlining their companies and operations so as to remain competitive. Keynote speakers will try to assess developments made over the last twelve years and describe expected trends in specific areas. Participants will have the opportunity to report on their recent experiences in forestry infrastructure construction, maintenance and use, on advancements in wood transport technologies and logistics and on improved investment practices and related current legal requirements. It is expected that the workshop will provide the sector with sound conclusions and recommendations that will be of particular importance for those countries where infrastructure still needs sound development and where the wood based industry is heavily challenged by the requirements of a globally operating economy. The output of the seminar should also give guidance to forest owners and investors engaged in the sector. The seminar is aimed at foresters involved in developing, planning and executing forest operations and management in the field, but also at those engaged in teaching, training and extension work and in administrative and policy advisory services: Forest engineers and wood transport experts, Forest operations managers, Representatives of private and public forest enterprises, Officials of forest services and administrations, Scientists, teachers and trainers from universities, forestry schools, vocational training and extension centres, Representatives of non-governmental organisations, forestry associations and forest contractors, Representatives of decision-making bodies. |

International conference “Recreation and Health in Landscape and Forest”
| Dates | 1 April 2009 - 3 April 2009 |
|---|---|
| Location | WSL Birmensdorf, Schweiz |
| Organiser(s) | Social Sciences in Landscape Research Group, WSL; Swiss Foundation for Landscape Conservation; University of Applied Sciences Health |
| Target Audience | Researchers and practitioners from different disciplines (e.g. health, landscape planning, forestry, psychology/sociology) with interest in the relationship between landscape and health, and the dialogue between science and practice. |
| Description (English) | Urbanisation is leading to a densification of cities in many European countries with an associated loss of natural areas. Urban areas are known to foster a sedentary lifestyle and to increase the need for restoration. Mental stress and obesity are some of the consequences of these developments, which put health at risk and lead to an increase in the occurrence of illnesses such as depression, diabetes and hypertonia. Preventive medicine and health promotion actions are actively undertaken to prevent illnesses and to foster public health. At the same time, different landscapes, e.g. forests, provide many opportunities to improve the quality of life of large parts of society and to reduce the consequences of the mentioned trends. The aim of the conference is to bring scientists and practitioners together and to encourage a dialog between the health, landscape, and forest related sciences in Switzerland and in Europe. |
| Description (Original language) | Conférence internationale: "Santé et détente dans le paysage et la forêt" du 1er au 3 avril 2009 à Birmensdorf en Suisse. Dans de nombreux pays européens, l’urbanisation conduit à une densification des villes et à une raréfaction des surfaces naturelles. Les villes favorisent un style de vie sédentaire et augmentent le besoin de détente. Le stress ainsi que l’obésité sont les conséquences de cette évolution. Ils nuisent à la santé et augmentent le risque de contracter certaines maladies comme la dépression, le diabète et l’hypertension. De nombreux efforts sont fournis dans les domaines de la médecine préventive et de la promotion de la santé afin de prévenir des maladies et de promouvoir la santé publique. Dans le même temps, les paysages, par exemple les forêts, contribuent à améliorer la qualité de vie d’une grande partie de la population et à atténuer les conséquences des tendances évoquées. |
