Under the theme "Forests, competitiveness and
sustainable landscapes", the Third Latin American IUFRO Congress was held
in Costa Rica from 12-15 June 2013, gathering around 350 scientists. A poster entitled "Understanding bioenergy conflicts: case of a jatropha project inKenya's Tana Delta" (Arevalo, J., Ochieng, R., Mola-Yudego, B. & Gritten, D.) was presented,
prompting numerous comments and feedback from congress participants.
Notwithstanding, Latin America has also experienced -similarly as sub-Saharan
Africa- important bioenergy developments, many of which have been associated to
deforestation and forest conflicts. A list of all congress contributions as well as the keynote presentations can be found at the congress website.
