The International Bamboo and Rattan Organisation, INBAR (www.inbar.int), an intergovernmental organisation, is proud to announce the launch of Bamboo and Rattan Update: a magazine dedicated to sharing the latest high-quality news and activities from the bamboo and rattan sector.
As two of the world’s most valuable non-timber forest products, bamboo (the fast-growing grass plant) and rattan (the spiky climbing palm) could be very strategic resources for sustainable development. They grow locally to some of the poorest areas in the tropics and subtropics, and already provide a versatile, year-round form of income for millions of people, as well as a source of renewable energy, affordable housing, sustainable durable products, and a tool for carbon storage and land restoration.
For its first issue, the Bamboo and Rattan Update editorial team is welcoming topical, accessible and fresh submissions on the theme of ‘Bamboo, rattan and sustainable development’, including:
· New activities, research or news in relation to bamboo or rattan’s relationship to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, written in an accessible and engagin;
· Any new and significant technological innovation, political commitment or action relating to the topic;
· Best practices, pilot projects and profiles of successful initiatives.
Each successful submission will be awarded USD 300.
INBAR’s work includes promoting bamboo and rattan as a source of poverty alleviation, renewable energy, affordable housing, sustainable durable products, and as a tool to combat climate change and protect biodiversity. More information about bamboo and rattan’s relevance to the UN Sustainable Development Agenda can be found here.
Authors wishing to submit content should send a 100-summary of their intended article to bru-magazine@inbar.int by WEDNESDAY 10 JUNE. Authors must bear in mind the Bamboo and Rattan Update editorial guidelines when preparing their summary.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes
