Abstract
Abstract The paucity of adequately educated leaders hampers programs in international forestry and sustainable development, where an ability to function effectively across cultures and disciplines is a prerequisite for success. With support from the National Science Foundation, the University of Florida is launching a graduate education and research program focused on neotropical working forests. The program offers an interdisciplinary curriculum to train doctoral students to research the tradeoffs and complementarities among working forest options, the effectiveness of different kinds of working forests for conservation and development, and efforts to promote forest management and conservation in neotropical regions. Increasing the ability of both the University of Florida and participating Latin American institutions to conduct truly collaborative, interdisciplinary research and training is an explicit program goal.
