| Fenner School Public Seminar: From IUFRO to the Internet: A Tale of International Forest Institutions | - Oct 20, 2011 |
 Presented by John Dargavel
Venue: Forestry Lecture Theatre (Bld 48)
Time: 1-2pm
A large and complex network of international government, NGO, and hybrid organisations now attempt to influence national forestry in different ways. The growth of international forestry institutions from the establishment of IUFRO in 1891 to the present period of globalisation will be traced in five stages.
1. Internationalising forestry, 1890s-1930s
2. Organising forestry in the post-colonial world, 1940s-1970s
3. The environmental era, 1970s-1990s
4. Globalising forestry up to 1992
5. Globalising forestry after 1992
|
Dr John Dargavel is an honorary Visiting Fellow in the Fenner School for Environment and Society at the Australian National University where he is currently writing a book on the history of forest science. He has degrees in forestry from the Universities of Edinburgh, Melbourne and the Australian National University. He worked as a forester in government and industry for over twenty years, before moving to ANU in 1978 where he has researched and lectured in the areas of forest management, economics, politics and history. |

| Fenner School Public Seminar: Crying for our Country: how ‘Caring for our Country’ has undermined regional natural resource management in Australia | - Oct 14, 2011 |
 Presented by: Lisa Robins and Peter Kanowski
Venue: Forestry Lecture Theatre (Bld 48)
Time: 1-2pm
Australia’s regional natural resource management (NRM) model was formalised under the Howard Government’s NHT2 (2002-03 to 2007-08). The Rudd Government’s successor Caring for our Country (CfoC) program was anticipated to build on these foundations. Instead, it adopted a narrower and more centralised agenda; its implementation failed to realise the aspirations of regional organisations for core funding, substantially increased transaction costs and diminished success rates under competitive funding arrangements, and prejudiced the goodwill of many in the NRM community.
Commitment to local community movements like Landcare has been inconsistent, and largely unsuccessful. Retracting investment in relevant research and development has severely limited knowledge creation and sharing to inform and strengthen the regional model. Our research suggests that there is a substantial body of evidence in favour of the regional model, and that the Australian Government should revisit its strategy for enabling and sustaining NRM investment.
|
Lisa Robins is Principal of Robins Consulting and a visiting fellow at the Fenner School. She has worked in regional NRM in Australia for more than 20 years, and completed her PhD by published work (Get Real: Making Capacity Building Meaningful) at the Fenner School in 2009. As an Australian Government Endeavour Fellow in 2010-11 Lisa worked with the M-POWER network on regional water governance in the Mekong based in Vientiane. This presentation is based on a paper published in the Australasian Journal of Environmental Management (18:2, pp 88-108), which was short-listed for the 2011 Eric Anderson Award for Best Paper.
Peter Kanowski is Professor of Forestry at the Fenner School of Environment & Society. He has worked in numerous regional natural resource management policy processes, most recently the NSW Natural Resource Commission's forest assessments. He is a member of the committee preparing the 2011 Australian State of Environment Report, and of the Steering Committee of The Forests Dialogue. |
