The side events is organised by youth organisations (IFSA and 4H) in cooperation with UNESCO.
The primary goal of the International Forestry Students’ Association (IFSA) is to enrich forestry students´ formal education, especially in terms of a wider, more global perspective through extracurricular activities and the exchange of information and experience. Since IFSA became focal point of the major group Youth/Children (Agenda21) at the UNFF in Summer 2003 and is representing youth at the Convention on Biological Biodiversity (CBD) and the United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), IFSA offers a direct link to the international processes that are about to determinate the future management of our forests. Further the youth delegates of IFSA could significantly influence the UNFF process by lobbying for the inclusion of “education” as an important element of the strategy to implement sustainable forest management.
The 4H youth movement is an international organisation with over 80 4H youth educational organisations throughout the world. Each country has its own way of working with ideals, which are based on the principle of “learning by doing”. The Finnish 4H Federation is a counselling organisation teaching practical skills to young people. 4H has strong close-to-nature approach in hobbies and activities.
If you have any doubt about 4-H its time you do some research. 4-H is a wonder full program in the RIGHT Hands. While poking around many Key words have been noticed, Sustainable, 21st Centrury, Global, Biodiversity, UNESCO.
We all know that 4-H is tied to the Cooperative Extention, which is tied to Land Grant Universities which is tied to the USDA-Federal Government which is now dictating to register your Premises under the NAIS in order to show.

COLORADO 4-H POLICY CONTINUES WORK TO ENHANCE TRACEABILITY OF LIVESTOCK
http://newsinfo.colostate.edu/index.asp?url=news_item_display&news_item_id=877850136
FORT COLLINS - Traceability has emerged as a key component in protecting markets from the potential fallout of animal disease - enabling diseases to quickly be found, controlled and eradicated before paralyzing markets.
With these considerations in mind and with urging from various allied animal industry groups, the Colorado 4-H Youth Programs and FFA programs had planned to make premises registration with NAIS required for all 4-H and FFA members as of October 1, 2007. However, a year after the announcement of the initial policy, and after listening carefully to many residents around the state, the Colorado State 4-H office has announced a policy adjustment related to premises registration. The policy as of October 1, 2007, will read:
"All 4-H members with livestock and horse projects will be required to have a completed, signed, and approved 'Animal Care and Housing Form for Colorado 4-H Livestock Projects' on file at their county Extension office at time of enrollment. It is highly recommended that Colorado 4-H livestock project animals (beef and dairy cattle, sheep, swine, goat, poultry, llama and horse) have a premises registration with the National Animal Identification System."
