Connecting people from across the world and across sectors – government, NGO’s, research, policy, business, finance, community, youth and indigenous organisations, is vital to reach the goal of sustainable landscapes together.
WeForest, in collaboration with FAO’s Forest and Water Programme and GIZ delivered a forest-water capacity building workshop in Mekelle, Ethiopia during June 2018. The workshop
A recent paper published in Nature provides new evidence of how closely interwoven Earth’s water and carbon cycles are.
“Governments need quality standards to know whether we are achieving FLR or not. We don’t want FLR to be fake news.”
Land degradation already negatively impacts the lives of 3.2 billion people across the globe.
The International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) has published a new global scientific assessment highlighting the need for an integrated approach to managing forest
A species of wood-boring longhorn beetle is attacking Ethiopia’s frankincense woodlands. These woodlands are vital for Ethiopia’s economy. WeForest’s project manager is proposing solutions to this phenomenon.
As the world starts to take stock of more than just carbon in forests, WeForest builds on our forests and water training programme launched in 2017. This ongoing adaptive and interactive programme will enable local forest stakeholders to manage their forests for water and will advance the science surrounding forest-water interactions.
A study reveals and quantifies the damage of longhorne beetle on flagship dryland tree, Boswellia papyrifera (white frankincense yielding tree) . The research studied the lifecycle of the insect and identified it, which is a prerequesit for management. It shows the economic loss incurred because of the longhorn beetle damage.
As the global community prepares to implement ambitious forest landscape restoration plans, it is vital to pay attention to the quality of FLR outcomes and practices.
