They provide essential ecosystem services\, contribute to biod iversity conservation\, support local livelihoods\, and play a strategic r ole in climate regulation and environmental protection. However\, this val uable heritage is increasingly exposed to multiple pressures\, including a nthropogenic disturbances and the growing impacts of climate change\, whic h contribute to forest degradation and ecosystem vulnerability.\n\nAmong t hese threats\, forest fires remain one of the major drivers of forest cove r loss and ecosystem degradation. Their increasing frequency and intensity can result in significant environmental damage\, biodiversity loss\, soil degradation\, carbon emissions\, and reduced ecosystem resilience. These challenges highlight the urgent need for integrated approaches combining f orest conservation\, sustainable management\, restoration\, monitoring\, a nd climate-change adaptation.\n\nGiven the current state and strategic imp ortance of Algeria’s forest heritage\, its conservation\, management\, a nd sustainable development constitute a national priority. This requires s trengthening scientific knowledge\, improving forest monitoring and assess ment systems\, promoting innovative technologies\, and encouraging partici patory approaches to forest management. Such an approach contributes to th e implementation of national policies aimed at reconciling environmental c onservation\, sustainable development\, and the rational use of forest res ources within a modern and integrated national forest development framewor k.\n\nIn this context\, the Laboratory for LRCGAEF\, in collaboration with AAGRS and IEEE- GRSS Algeria Chapter\, is organizing the 1st Seminar of t he National Forestry Days.\n\nCo-sponsored by: THE LABORATORY FOR THE CONS ERVATION\, MANAGEMENT AND IMPROVEMENT OF FOREST ECOSYSTEMS (LRCGAEF) & A2G RS Association\n\nEcole NAtional Superieur Agronomique\, El Harrach\, Alge r\, Algeria LOCATION:Ecole NAtional Superieur Agronomique\, El Harrach\, Alger\, Algeri a ORGANIZER:souissi_boularbah@ieee.org SEQUENCE:3 SUMMARY:THE 1st SEMINAR OF THE NATIONAL FORESTRY DAYS 25 October 2026 URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/573322 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0 001pt\; text-align: justify\; line-height: normal\; mso-layout-grid-align: none\; text-autospace: none\;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0p t\; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT\; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPS MT\; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\;">Algeria&rsquo\;s forests\, covering more than 4 million hectares\, constitute a natural heritage of exceptional eco logical\, economic\, and social value.
