The meeting will focus on the approaches, methods, tools, and indicators to assess how, where, and why governing forest and forest mosaics for improving livelihoods works, and how it can be strengthened. We are honored to have *Ms. Marina Silva*, Former Minister of Environment of Brazil and *Ms. Joji Carino*, Senior Policy Advisor for Forest Peoples Programme, present keynote presentations at this year’s meeting. *Registration <http://flaremeeting2016.eventbrite.com> for the meeting and optional workshops is open to presenters and observers through October 31.* Join us! -- FLARE Secretariat School of Natural Resources and Environment University of Michigan 440 Church Street Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109 http://www.forestlivelihoods.org/ -- Check out the Commons Transition Plan here at: http://commonstransition.org P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net <http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation>Updates: http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens #82 on the (En)Rich list: http://enrichlist.org/the-complete-list/
