Introduction
Dear fellow students!
I guess that for you also the clustering and teamwork organization look still a bit confusing, and that you may as well find that overlapping in interviews and field measurements can be an issue.I had some brainstorming yesterday after the meeting and I wanted to share with you this proposal of organization scheme which, I hope, could provide us a simple frame to work together as a team and still allow us to get substantial results for each and everyone’s topic.
I am really looking forward to hearing (or reading) your questions, comments and ideas!

Income generation Community-based forestry
• The same sites are investigated by every disciplines to be able to link information, work together and avoid overlapping.
• On each site 3 « Field measurements» and 4 « Interviews » take place.
• The array of sites we will visit can be set to represent the highest variety possible, and thus fit with everyone’s interests (different land-uses, slopes, soil properties, communities or management system).
• Full team (5-6 persons): 2 for Forest Inventory & AF survey1 for Insect observation1 for Soil sample1 (or 2) for one (or two) Socio-eco-policy survey(+ 1 for bioclimatology survey?)
Site selection & teams
• One full team can investigate 2 sites in 2 days, by splitting in 2 half-teams:
Organization & time frame
Expected outcomes The interviews can be divided (or not) in two parts per day to make it less tiring for the farmer. Measurements can also be shared out in the two days. The size of half-teams (3 persons) is optimal for transportation and also not to look too “invasive” for the farmer With two full teams running we could then theoretically investigate 4 sites in 2 days. Team composition can be rearranged (or not) every two days. Some « free days » can be included for each of us to discover other parts of the work.
