夏威夷大学280万美元森林韧性合作项目 资助五名驻外推广专员
夏威夷大学11月8日宣布，夏威夷大学马诺阿分校与美国林务局达成一项280万美元的合作项目，帮助太平洋岛屿的地主保护森林、防范野火、干旱和强风暴。
这项名为“太平洋森林韧性项目”的合作，将通过马诺阿分校热带农业与人类韧性学院（CTAHR）资助五名新的林务局附属初级推广专员，派驻美属萨摩亚、北马里亚纳群岛自由邦、马绍尔群岛共和国、密克罗尼西亚联邦和帕劳共和国。
五个岗位将于11月9日开放申请，专员预计2027年5月前到岗，项目方将于11月18日夏威夷时间下午2时举办线上说明会。夏威夷大学表示，太平洋岛屿的森林资源面临气候变化和外来物种的多重压力，派驻当地的推广专员将直接服务岛屿社区，把森林保护和防灾知识送到一线。
University of Hawaiʻi Launches $2.8 Million Pacific Forest Resilience Program Funding Five Extension Agents
The University of Hawaiʻi announced on November 8 that the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa has entered a $2.8 million partnership with the U.S. Forest Service to help Pacific Island landowners protect forests and prepare for wildfire, drought, and severe storms.
The Pacific Forest Resilience Program will fund five new Forest Service-affiliated junior extension agents through Mānoa's College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resilience (CTAHR). The agents will be stationed in American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of Palau.
Applications for all five positions open November 9, the agents are expected to begin work by May 2027, and an informational webinar will be held on November 18 at 2 p.m. Hawaiʻi time. The university said Pacific Island forests face mounting pressure from climate change and invasive species, and the locally based agents will serve island communities directly, bringing forest protection and disaster-preparedness knowledge to the front line.
