International Forestry Student Symposium
|
The NMMU was host to the
annual International Forestry Student Symposium (IFSS)
in 2007. The symposium was presented in July 2007, with
the theme: The Big Three for Sustainable Forestry. This
reflected on the interaction between the social, economic
and biophysical environments to ensure the sustainable
utilization of forest resources.
This is one of the major future challenges the world is
facing and South Africa is no exception. A total of 90
international students from 35 different countries attended
the symposium. The event enjoyed considerable support
from the forestry industry - such as SanParks,
PG Bison, Mondi, ICFR, NCT, Sappi, Komatiland Forestry,
GFP and FABI. |
