Dear WASWAC Councilors, Advisors, Deputy Presidents, Associated Councilors, and all members,
The 2024 New Year's bells are getting
closer and closer. Look back to the year 2023, which will pass quickly, I would like to express my heartfelt respect and appreciation, to all of you, many thanks for
your continuous attention and support to the association.
During 2023, WASWAC has been involved in a
number of academic communication activities, including the World Conference V, the
National Forum on Soil and Water Conservation and Rural Revitalization in the
Yellow River Floodplain Area, the 2023 Guiyang International Forum on
Ecological Civilization, Forum of Sustainable Erosion Control and Sediment
Management in a Change Climate, etc. Under all of your active participation and
support, the WASWAC Assembly has also been held successfully with combined
online and offline way, in which, the new term council has been elected for
serving the period of 2023-2025. International Soil and Water Conservation (ISWCR),
the official journal of WASWAC received the latest impact factor 6.4, which kept
the position of Q1 in all three indexed categories of environmental sciences,
water resources and soil science.
The 4th International Youth
Forum on Soil and Water Conservation (IYFSWC) will be held in
Shenyang, China, in autumn of 2024. The first round announcement with more
details will be released very soon. I encourage all of our young members to be
involved in this important event. I believe that this forum must be a very
valuable opportunity to have face to face exchange. I hope to see you then.
With the arriving of 2024, I would like to
express my sincerely regards to all of you and all your families. I believe
that WASWAC can be move longer and higher under your strong and firmly support.
