you, your students, colleagues, and partners to apply to present a
Building Block Talk (BBT) or poster presentation centered around this
theme. We welcome diverse perspectives from international relations,
policy, agriculture, forestry, biology, sociology, and from anyone who
is working in applied research in the tropics. There is also an ISTF
Innovation Prize ($3,000) offered to honor outstanding projects that
have adopted the multidisciplinary approach to address sustainable
resource use in the tropics. Winning projects will have created
strategic partnerships to address tropical forest use and conservation.
Perhaps you have local partners that would benefit from the prize and
exposure??? Please share widely!
For more information on BBT and poster presentations, see here.
Applications are due November 7th.
