Dear members of env-ed-research:

I have received the following message from a colleague from Korea, 
who will be visiting the UK in January.  He would like to meet people 
interested in environmental education, especially in relation to his 
project for UNDP in the forests of Korea.  I would very much 
recommend him, and would note that he speaks excellent English.  If 
you would be interested in meeting him, please contact him directly 
at the e-mail address he provides.

With best regards,

Martin Price

UNDP Programme on the Environmental Education and Forestry in Korea and NE 
Asia

The UNDP Project for the Development of Environmental Education Programmes 
on Trees and Forests (ROK/98/005) aims to enhance capacity-building of 
educators and natural resources managers in environmental education on 
natural environment, in particular trees and forests. The project also aims 
to raise public awareness on the issues of deforestation and sustainable 
forestry.  The project involves developing a set of environmental 
educational programmes on trees and forests including guided and self-  
guiding programmes plus teaching and learning materials about trees and 
forests. The project will provide a channel for communication among 
schools, forest managers and the public for the better understanding of 
issues in sustainable forestry and environmental management at large.

The project will also train a number of educators and resource managers 
from domestic and abroad. There will be several domestic and an 
international workshops on environmental education.  In the international 
workshop the issues of deforestation in the northeastern Asian countries, 
in particular the case of Korean peninsula will be addressed. The project 
and related projects in the area of forestry will facilitate the 
development of sustainable forestry and environmental conservation in the 
region. Possible areas of follow-up project will include public involvement 
for forest conservation and international cooperation for sustainable 
forestry in the northeastern Asian countries. The case of Korean forestry 
education may be a model of education for sustainable forestry in the 
region.
