For its first edition, the FERI academy is sponsoring the participation of eight restoration practitioners from its portfolio of direct support projects to the World Conference on Ecological Restoration.
FERI is partnering with the World Conference on Ecological Restoration organized by the Society for Ecological Restoration in Iguazu, Brazil, from August 27 to September 1 and will sponsor the participation of representatives from projects funded by FERI. The SER2017 conference program features world-renowned keynote and plenary speakers as well as numerous symposia, training workshops, concurrent sessions, and technical field trips.
Through five days of seminars, training sessions and participative forums, this activity aims to further develop the knowledge of FERI project leaders on restoration science and standards of best practice, but also their capacity to disseminate the findings of their projects and promote the scaling-up of restoration activities with their national governments and other partners.
