GLOBAL FORESTRY PRACTICE: Gio’s experiences at the 15th World Forestry Congress with UN-FAO


In the last quarter of 2021, I was selected as one of the young experts to contribute in the Asia- Pacific Forest Sector Outlook: Innovative Forestry for a Sustainable Future. Specifically, UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) accepted the case study I co-authored with For. Zai Togado entitled “Building back Philippine biodiversity through geotagging mother tree species for modernized and mechanized forest nurseries.” Access the study here https://www.cifor-icraf.org/publications/pdf_files/FTA/WPapers/FAO-FTA-WP-10.pdf.


UN-FAO supported my travel in Seoul, South Korea to present the case study and engage at the 15th World Forestry Congress from May 2-6, 2022 where I met various experts in sustainable forest management.
