This was the last of our four regional #WyssAcademyDialogues on #TheTrueValueOfForests. What a journey ! It that allowed us to dive into various regional and local contexts to understand the universal value of forests and the importance of allowing for local solutions to shape how best to ensure both nature and human wellbeing. I am excited to continue this journey with our partners from around the globe Impact Hub Network RECOFTC ESSA-Forêts/LRA Kanton Bern Fundación para la Conservación y el Desarrollo Sostenible. Next step is our virtual dialogue on October 1st and 2nd. Watch out for more to come.
