Description
The project is linked to adaptation and mitigation of climate change at local level, specifically in forestry.
The aim is to support introduction of adaptation and mitigation measures in forestry, based on up-to-date information on a) ecology and stability of forest ecosystems b) ecology and adaptability of trees c) existing examples of good practice d) importance of key species through provision of essential information from recent years of research and examples of good practice in form of high-quality text, graphic and audio-visual materials and their dissemination towards target groups (TG) through a promotional campaign.
Main activities are: 1) creation of a textbook whose content is to present up-to-date information from forest ecology essential for creation of adapted forests capable of locally mitigating the effects of climate change 2) creation of short instructional films expanding and complementing headings set out in textbook with field examples, accompanied by an interpretation by researchers and practitioners 3) creation of a series of educational articles on the subject and a promotional campaign linked to dissemination of information among TG.
TG is a segment of professional public that influences or has a chance to influence specific performance in forestry in near future. Secondary group represents a part of the public that has an increased interest in forestry and forest conditions.
Expected outputs are information tools arising from individual activities, the promotion of which as part of information and disincentive campaign will address and train TG on how to adapt forests using the "creative forces of nature" and on the basis of principles of stabilisation in forest ecosystems, so that forests are able to mitigate climate change at local level.
