A huge El Niño on the horizon bodes ill for drought and forest fire.
Forest loss has halved over the past 30 years according to the 2015 Global Forest Resources Assessment, released yesterday.
Sophisticated models and supercomputers allow researchers to create a high-fidelity map of the Earth’s trees – and show that we’re losing billions of trees a year.
There are more than three trillion trees worldwide, but that’s only half as many were around at the start of human civilisation according to new research.
Each year more than 15 billion trees are lost worldwide, according to a major new study.
The US West – suffering one of the most damaging wildfire seasons this decade – needs to break with current practices to avert more costly and dangerous wildfires in the future.
Forests take longer than expected to rebound from droughts, diminishing their role as global carbon sinks.
Africa needs to step up the protection of its tropical forests.
Conservation won’t be successful unless we work with people living at the forest edge.
