Conference on introgression from GM plants into wild relatives
Dear Colleagues, Hans den Nijs, one of the subscribers to the
FAO e-mail conference on GMOs and Gene Flow that finished on 5
July, has requested that we post a short message about an
upcoming conference he is helping to organise. While it is not
our normal practice to post messages after a FAO Biotechnology
Forum e-mail conference ends, we have decided to do so in this
case because the theme is very similar to that of the FAO
conference and since it comes just soon after the FAO
conference. It is a conference organised by the European
Science Foundation programme AIGM (Assessement of the Impact
of Genitically Modified Plants), and entitled
"Introgression from Genetically Modified Plants (GMP)
into wild relatives and its consequences" and is to be
held 21-24 January 2003, University of Amsterdam, The
Netherlands. "This conference aims at reviewing current
knowledge on gene flow and introgression, and discussing the
research and monitoring information required to determine the
consequences of introgression of novel genes on plant and crop
ecosystems." See
http://www.science.uva.nl/research/ibed/Introgression/ or

Joint Australia and New Zealand Institute of Forestry
Conference Australasian Forestry - A Strategic Vision April 27
- May 1, 2003 Queenstown, New Zealand The Institutes of
Forestry of Australia and New Zealand are pleased to announce
a joint four-day conference to look at the breadth of issues
impacting on forests and forestry management strategy into the
future. ANZIF Conferences happen only every five or six years.
They are always memorable events. The management of forests
requires a long term and broad outlook, something that has not
always been apparent over the last few decades, as forestry
restructurings have sometimes compelled a short-term and
narrow focus. The time is overdue for forestry managers to
once again lift their eyes from todayÆs issues to the
strategy of tomorrow. Voluntary and selected keynote papers
contributing to the various sub-themes are being invited. Take
the opportunity to have your say about forestry strategy, and
what issues we must address. The conference will cover the
following sub-themes throughout three days of papers, with
parallel sessions. Ï The role of strategic planning in
Australasian forestry management; À Selected Keynote speakers
Ï International trade issues facing Australasian forestry; À
Suggested paper topics: supply /demand (quality &
quantity), trends, inventory, role of plantations vs ænaturalÆ
forests, international finance Ï Management strategies and
opportunities for our forests, and for forest products and
services down the supply chain (double slot); À Suggested
paper topics: quality, quantity, management treatment and
trends, alternative species, research and opportunities,
marketing, future of processing, innovations in processing,
processing options and opportunities, processing integration
and supply chain management, Natural forests vs. plantations,
managing for future markets/uncertainty, inventory, Role of
independent growers, physical and non-physical infrastructure,
managing for business and financial risk, benefits and risks
of diversity and options, forestry and other land uses,
management paradigms (forests as æcapitalÆ, æcropsÆ,
multiple uses, ecosystems, preserves). Ï Environmental issues
in Australasian forestry; À Suggested paper topics:
Certification, biosecurity, climate change & carbon,
emerging trends Australasia & internationally, ecosystem
management, role of natural forests and plantations in the
environment, ecosystem services (non wood forest products û
services and values) Ï Social issues in Australasian
forestry; À Suggested paper topics: public participation,
workforce, education & training, health and safety, public
safety, public perceptions, indigenous people, the role of
forestry in social development, land tenure, community
forestry Ï The role of government; À Suggested paper topics:
Forest history (for current perspective), forest policy issues
and trends, national inventory, regional development,
infrastructural development, social development, international
protocols, legislation, tariffs and trade, log exporting,
price controls, timber concessions. Ï The forestry
profession's response to changing industry and social values;
À Suggested paper topics: How is the profession responding to
the restructuring of the industry and to the changing values
of society? What are the emerging resource management values
and approaches (e.g. æsustainable yieldÆ, æecosystem
managementÆ æpreservationÆ)? Will there continue to be a
forestry profession in 2020 and what role will there be for
the Institutes? Ï Changing information, research and training
requirement À Suggested paper topics: An examination of the
training requirements of the industry (trade and
professional). The role of research? Managing the links
between research, policy and operational management. How will
the research requirements of the industry alter into the
future? Submission may be made with an abstract of between 200
and 400 words. Please indicate whether your abstract is for an
oral or poster presentation. Consideration is also being given
to post graduate student presentations. Timetable: 30 October,
2002 Deadline for presentation of abstracts 30 November, 2002

Content:
Il paesaggio è oggetto di crescente attenzione da parte del
pubblico e degli organi di governo del territorio non solo per
gli aspetti sociali ed ambientali legati alla gestione di
questa risorsa, ma anche per la sua crescente importanza dal
punto di vista economico e per il suo ruolo essenziale per
l’identità culturale di un territorio. Nonostante questo, i
veloci e profondi cambiamenti impressi al paesaggio dallo
sviluppo socioeconomico, stanno progressivamente modificando
le sue caratteristiche strutturali, influenzando le dinamiche
ecologiche e la biodiversità. Oltre a modifiche
macrostrutturali, dovute allo sviluppo urbano e a quello
industriale, esistono cambiamenti più profondi e diffusi, che
sono legati ai mutati indirizzi produttivi, alle tecniche di
lavoro impiegate nel settore agrario e forestale e
all’evoluzione dei territori non più soggetti alle attività
rurali, che interessano anche il sistema dei parchi e delle
aree protette. E’ perciò necessario sviluppare strumenti
operativi per la conservazione e la gestione di questa
risorsa, ma anche sostenere l’approccio paesaggistico nella
definizione di criteri ed indicatori di sviluppo sostenibile
adeguati alla situazione italiana. L’incontro propone un
dibattito su questi temi, prendendo spunto dai risultati di un
progetto per l’analisi e la gestione delle risorse
paesaggistiche, realizzato per conto della Regione Toscana. **

ForestSAT Symposium on Operational Tools in Forestry using
Remote Sensing Techniques. Dear colleague , The British
Forestry Commission is organising an international symposium
next year in Edinburgh the 5th to the 9th of August 2002, to
raise awareness about existing remote sensing technique tools
between forest managers. This event intends to bring along
those tools currently used worldwide and to show their
potential application in European forestry. This symposium is
partly funded by the EU LIFE programme FORESTSAFE, which
covers the main organisation and the publication of the
proceedings. In addition, we are planning parallel activities
such as a one-day seminar about optical, radar and lidar
systems with their possible applications in forestry; and
exhibits with commercial products like software, data capture
and consulting. After the symposium, we want to compile the
most relevant applications in a peer-review publication. I
would like to invite you formally to attend the ForestSAT
symposium next year. Please see the official web site for more
details: www.forestry.gov.uk/ForestSAT Best wishes, Juan
Suarez Geographic Information Scientist Symposium convenor
Objectives Remote sensing techniques have been developed over
the last decades and nowadays some of them constitute
important operational tools for forest management. Remote
sensing methodologies are rapidly penetrating a number of
application domains such as forest inventory, management of
abiotic hazards, health monitoring, pollution control, timber
extraction, production forecast, landscape architecture, the
provision of recreation facilities and many others. In
addition, remote sensing techniques are a valuable source of
spatial information when combined with the Geographic
Information Systems. Remote sensing data are extensively used
in spatial models for decision support in forestry. The
symposium programme intends to address all the remote sensing
techniques such as aerial photography, radar, lidar, optical
systems and thermography. Additionally, the workshop would
like to invite solutions for primary data transfer including
the use of the World Wide Web, data compression techniques,
visualisation and mobile computing. Who should attends The
purpose of the symposium is to show forestry managers, forest
practitioners, policy makers, planners and scientists examples
of operational tools developed from remote sensing techniques.
The organisation of this symposium would like to bring
together developers and users of these technologies into a
common forum where both can be informed about the development
and application of those tools regarded as operational. The
symposium would also provide an opportunity for users to
provide feedback about their requirements in future tool's
developments. Benefits to you * Keep up-to-date on the latest
advances and current operational systems in forest management
* Present your applications to a wide audience * Collaborate
with experts around the world * Publish your applications in a
peer-reviewed book * Demonstration of applications in our
exhibits International Scientific Committee Chairperson: Juan

outlined in the main areas of interest and others falling
within the scope of the meeting. Abstract of no more than 300
words should be submitter to the Symposium Secretariat before
the 28th of February 2002. Each paper will be allocated 20
minutes, 15 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for
questions and discussion. Each abstract will start with an
invited keynote speaker. Abstracts should clearly state the
purpose , results and conclusions of the work to be described
in the final paper. Final acceptance will be notified by the
31st of May 2002. Full-length papers will be submitted before
the 30th of June. The language of the symposium will be
English. Abstract submission Please submit your abstract
