In the early stages of this project it’s expected to not get much attention, yet attention is what we’re starting to get. Yesterday a Climate Change blog created by a top executive in the social media monitoring sector mentioned our work here.

We see inspiring examples flowing through Sunflower every day, from around the world. But here’s a great new one. The Registry of Forest Protection Foresters. This just-launched project led by long-time forest activist Deane Rinerman aims to bring forest science to bear in defense of the forest (imagine that!). The project explains how it’s different from the traditional paradigm of the Registered Professional Forester (RPF) and is building an alternative: “Registered Professional Foresters (RPFs) are experts in all the details of why cutting down trees is a benefit that perpetuates their job. Therefore Registered Forest Protection Foresters (RFPFs) are experts in all the details of why NOT cutting down trees is a benefit to our future planet.” Check out the articles throughout their site, including the bios of the current members of the new Registry, for a whole lot of inspiration you can apply in any part of the climate movement.”

Thanks so much for the recognition of our efforts thus far… As I wrote on their website, we still have so much more work to do!
Excited to see the evolution of this project! Congrats on the launch. Looking forward to helping connect folks interested in forest defense with the work you’re doing.
