Dear Readers,
It is the end of the year and therefore, as usual, it is time for balance and good wishes.
For our Network, both at the Mediterranean and global level, 2023 was an extremely fulfilling year. So many projects and collaborations have been developed within the individual Model Forests and among the Mediterranean entities and stakeholders outside the Network with whom we share values, principles and goals.
We don’t want to bother you with a long list of activities and events accomplished, hoping that our Newsletter (with 15 editions this year) has been useful for all of you to get to know them, giving you the opportunity to reflect on the many issues addressed in the areas we hold dear. If you feel you have missed anything, you can find all the year's newsletters and related news on our website (Newsletter archive and News).
If you have any comment or suggestion on how to improve our Newsletter do not hesitate to contact us at info@medmodelforest.net. What kind of news are you interested in reading? On which topics? Let us know your opinion! And if you have any news or content that you want us to spread, feel free to send to us, we will find them a place in our communication channels.
Our efforts will continue in 2024 for which we hope to further increase collective awareness of the fundamental role of forests, rural territories and the communities that inhabit and manage them in order to try to overcome the challenges of this time. Awareness that should lead us to understand how at this moment in history the objective is no longer just the survival of the human species on this planet but a path that leads to well-being and dignity for all communities on the Planet; providing for the restoration of environments, ecosystems, landscapes and forests is indispensable for the achievement of these results and the Model Forest Network will continue to increase its efforts in this direction.
Happy new year of peace!
