Yale’s student chapter of the International Society of Tropical Foresters (ISTF) was first organized in 1989, as part of a network of natural resource professionals concerned with tropical resource management. ISTF provides a forum for students with interests and experiences in linking natural resource conservation and management with economic development.

In early 2020 (January 30 - February 1) we will be hosting our 26th Annual Conference, titled Restoration for What and for Whom? Shifting the Paradigm in Tropical Forest Management. Register here.
