For two weeks, senior natural resource professionals from around the world will engage in an intensive program that will promote the transfer of knowledge and examine ideas and approaches to improve the management of natural resources in their respective countries and regions. Sponsored by Northern Arizona University, the International Seminar on Forest Administration and Management (ISFAM) is a two-week course, during which participants can discuss and learn a variety of management techniques and practices.

The seminar employs a highly interactive collaborative learning approach and incorporates classroom lectures and discussions with meetings with professional resource managers and field tours focused on creating an international dialogue on natural resource issues. The seminar focuses on strategies and methods to develop, manage, and conserve natural resources for the sustained delivery of goods and services. These discussions revolve around six dynamic themes including maintaining the forest resource base; forest biological diversity, productive functions of forests; forest health; socioeconomic benefits of forests; and legal policy, trade, institutionally framework and cooperation.
