Description

How can we manage forests for a future we can’t fully predict? In this episode of Branching Out: The Forest Podcast, we dive into the work of IUFRO Division 4—Forest Assessment, Modelling and Management. Co-coordinators Dr. Bianca Eskelson and Dr. Don Hodges share how data, simulation tools, and emerging technologies like AI are helping forest scientists and decision-makers explore alternative futures. From wildfire risk to green jobs, we explore the science behind forest planning in an uncertain world—and why local knowledge and collaboration remain essential. If you're curious about the future of forest science, this episode is for you.

Presented by Jose Bolaños (IUFRO HQ) and Nele Römer (IFSA).
