To celebrate the International Day of Forests we are very happy to share with you our report from the Edu-Case Workshop that was held last week in Italy, involving all the Model Forests of the Mediterranean Network in three days of work and discussions on (and in) the forest.
As MMFN Secretariat we are more and more convinced that the Model Forest approach could have a key role in the management, conservation and restoration of forest ecosystems, putting the local communities and their territories at the center of projects design and activities.
Thanks to the funding that came from the International Model Forest Network Climate initiative within Canada's Global Forest Leadership Program (Environment and Natural Resources in Canada), we managed to gather all the Model Forests of our Network in Italy for a three-day workshop about tools for raising awareness on Forest and Landscape Restoration through environmental education and forest pedagogy. Also the Red Latinoamericana de Bosques Modelo join us with Juan Pablo Rodriguez Garavito that brought us some experiences from their network on the other side of the Ocean.
