Werner Kurz
Senior Research Scientist at the Canadian Forest Service

Werner Kurz, a senior research scientists with the Canadian Forest Service of Natural Resources Canada, has been researching the role of forests and forest  sector activities in the carbon cycle for the past 25-plus years.

He also leads the development of Canada’s National Forest Carbon Monitoring, Accounting and Reporting.System and the Forest Carbon Management Project of the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions.

Werner Kurz has co-authored six reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and has published over 125 peer-reviewed scientific papers. He also serves as adjunct professor at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and at Simon Fraser University. He holds a PhD in Forest Ecology from UBC and an honorary doctorate from the Swedish Land University. In 2016 he was appointed an international fellow of the Royal Swedish Academy of Agriculture and Forestry.

His research focuses on carbon dynamics in forests and harvested wood products and ways in which the forest sector can contribute to climate change mitigation.

Suzanne Simard

Ecologist Suzanne Simard photographed in Stanley Park in Vancouver, British Columbia. Two decades ago, while researching her doctoral thesis, Simard discovered that trees communicate to each other.

“Voice of the Mother Trees”

Dr. Suzanne Simard is a Professor of Forest Ecology, Leader of The Mother Tree Project, and Director of the Masters of Sustainable Forest Management at the University of British Columbia. She has recently lead a six-year programme on training graduate students in methods for communicating their discoveries and ideas regarding climate change. She holds a PhD and MSc from Oregon State University and a BSF from the University of British Columbia. She conducts research in her home forests of British Columbia, where she investigates the multifarious ecological relationships between trees, soils, and disturbances that underlie forest structure and function.

She is known for her work on belowground fungal networks that connect trees and facilitate inter-tree communication, and she is investigating how this underlies the complexity, adaptability and resilience of forests to climate change. She has communicated her work in collaborative projects using film, art, writing and TED, and most effectively through walks in the forest. She has published over 200 scientific and popular science articles and her forthcoming book, “Finding the Mother Tree”, will be published in 2020 by Penguin Random House.

Purabi Bose

Communicating with ‘People’ in Scientific Forestry Discourse

Dr. Bose works with forest-dependent communities in tropical countries. An anthropologist and forest land-use policy expert, her diverse professional affiliations include – NGOs, philanthropy, academia, think-tank, international research centers such as the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT), and more recently consultancies with Oxfam and the UN-FAO. Her work-related residencies have been in Colombia, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Netherlands and Germany in-addition to field-works in Brazil, Bolivia, and Uganda focussing on forest decentralisation, gender and diversity, land tenure, and governance. Currently, via self-funded initiative, Landing Together, she has directed and produced five short films and one full-length titled Vaña Vaasiyon (forest dwellers) documenting voices of forest guardians.

She holds an inter-disciplinary PhD, ‘Forest Rights’, from Wageningen University, Netherlands. Recent collaborative publications are: special issue on Latin American women’s access to farmland and communal forest (2017), and edited volumes Dryland Forests (2016), and Gender, Energy and Sustainability (2018).  Her pro-bono activities are with IUFRO’s Gender and Forestry Group, and IUCN’s Commission on Environment, Ecology and Social Policy.

In her keynote speech, Dr. Bose will highlight overcoming gaps in forest science for better communication with ‘people’ i.e. forest defenders, extractive industries, conservationists, lawyers, students and state.
