In 2019, the People, Institutions, and Forests (PIF) Lab organized “Transforming Approaches to Forests and Forestry through Traditional and Local Knowledges,” a global convergence of researchers and community members working on redefining the relationships between humans and forest ecosystems.

This 3-day meeting included 77 people from 22 countries around the world. We created new networks to support one another in our research, livelihoods and work. We discussed and analyzed topics including forests and forestry, food security, food sovereignty, land rights, education, intergenerational knowledge transmission, public policy and environmental justice. Our intention is to continue to connect as a supportive network for one another in to the future. Together we are stronger.
