LIFE IP CARE4CLIMATE
The project is based on the connections between sustainable mobility, energy efficiency, sustainable land use and practices for the transition to a low-carbon economy. It strives to help solve one of the most pressing issues of modern societies — the climate crisis. The Slovenian Forestry Institute (SFI) is responsible for the activities relating to the land use, land-use change, and forestry (LULUCF) sector, establishing the methodology for monitoring carbon stock at the national level for all land uses, the implementation of pilot projects, building professional and governance capacities and awareness-raising.

LIFE-IP NATURA.SI - LIFE Integrated Project for Enhanced Management of Natura 2000 in Slovenia
In the project, SFI will analyze and create habitat suitability models for seven selected Natura 2000 forest species (2 owl species and 5 beetle species) in collaboration with the National Institute of Biology. We will also analyze the state of three selected Natura 2000 moss species (analyzing major knowledge gaps for the three selected moss species, preparing proposals to address these gaps, and conducting a survey of the coverage of target moss species with the existing national monitoring scheme)

eLTER – INTEGRATED EUROPEAN LONG-TERM ECOSYSTEM, CRITICAL ZONE & SOCIO-ECOLOGICAL RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE
LTER-Slovenia brings together 16 highly equipped research sites where long-term socio-ecological research is conducted at two underground karst sites, two freshwater lakes, 11 terrestrial forest platforms and one marine site. These ecosystem research sites support, enhance and promote national and international multi- and interdisciplinary investigations of long-term biodiversity and ecosystem processes at different spatial and temporal scales. LTER-Slovenia has been on the national research infrastructure roadmap since 2016.

The Forest of Experiments
An activity that translates many scientific research findings and expert conclusions into language accessible to the public. Our educational work is conducted by researchers from various fields following the principles and methods of forest pedagogy. Forest pedagogy is an approach to environmental education connected with the forest and our relationship with it. We offer training for educators, the interested public, and youth. We participate in the development of environmental education in Slovenia and are active internationally.
