Starting from the initiation from mouth to mouth of the establishment of IFSA LC UNHAS, finally it can be established.February 2, 2020, by seven initiators representing different academic cohorts (2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019). Guided by faculty lecturers from the Faculty of Forestry at Hasanuddin University, it officially became the local Committees for IFSA at Hasanuddin University in December 2020. This milestone reflects the collaborative efforts of the student initiators and the support provided by university faculty, underscoring their dedication to advancing IFSA’s objectives at the local level.
IFSA LC UNHAS, situated within the academic nexus, serves as a pivotal conduit for fostering international collaboration in the realm of forestry. Its formation not only encapsulates the exchange of local ideas and knowledge but also facilitates active participation in global forums. The role of the faculty mentor and the collective determination of the initiators laid the groundwork for exploring the multifaceted dimensions of forests, encompassing social, ecological, and economic considerations.
