Objectives: The study examined the sustainability of plantation forestry in Mezam Division of the North West Region. Methodology and results: Respondents drawn from a cross-section of plantation owners in five (5) sub-divisions (i.e. Tubah, Bali, Bafut, Santa and Bemenda central) of Mezam Division. Fifty- (50) plantation owners selected through a system of random sampling. Data collected through the administered questionnaires were on social, economic, ecological, profitability, management strategies and constraints to plantation forestry in the study area. Structure questionnaires were instrument used for data collection. Analytical tools used were descriptive statistic including tables, means, and percentages to describe the socio-economic characteristic of respondents, while chi-square and Benefit Cost Ratio models were used to determined profitability and opinion of plantation owners respectively. The results reveal that majority of plantation owners were men 84.5% and widows make up 15.5% of the respondents. They all owned families. Benefit Cost Ratio B/C calculated was 0.7 (B/C . 1) this results implies that plantation business is not profitable compared to an alternative land use system, although they was a marginal profit of eight thousand five hundred francs 8500f ($ 17 USD) for the sale of one acre of plantation. Chi-square test of equal probability showed that they were no significant difference at 0.05% probability level for private plantation owners. The main constraints confronting plantation forestry business in the study area are access to finance, followed by wildfires, unfavorable government policies and finally bad road networks leading to their plantation. The Benefit Cost Ratio B/C calculated (B/C . 1) mean plantation business is not profitable compared to an alternative land use system, although they were marginal benefits. The study therefore recommend that private plantation be encourage to ensure less dependence on natural forest and to also mitigation climate change and through this jobs created and livelihood improved to the rural communities

Forests, trees and agroforestry: What role in food security and nutrition?

CIFOR-ICRAF

This presentation by Terrry Sunderland was given at a session titled "New findings on the dynamics between forests, land use and food security" at the Global Landscapes Forum in Lima, Peru, on December 7, 2014. The session discussed direct and indirect roles of forests and trees in food systems, the importance of food production systems across the forest-agriculture continuum for food security, dietary diversity and nutrition, and the ensuing implications for land use. The social, economic and environmental synergies and trade-offs between forests and food security and related management interventions, as well as relevant response options will also be discussed. The debate also touched upon questions of sustainable land use under a post-Kyoto climate agreement.

Vulnerabilities of forests and forest dependent people

World Agroforestry (ICRAF)

This document discusses the vulnerability of forest-dependent people and forests to climate change. It notes that over 1 billion people depend on forests for their livelihoods, while 1 billion hectares of land are under agroforestry worldwide. Climate change poses direct risks like increased temperatures and wildfires, and indirect risks through impacts on species and ecosystems. Potential transition issues from policies like REDD+ could negatively impact land and tree rights of indigenous groups. The document argues that comprehensive vulnerability assessments are needed using qualitative and quantitative methods to understand all vulnerabilities, include stakeholders, and identify good practices to address risks to forests and forest-dependent communities from climate change.

Resilience of rubber based agroforestry facing global change

World Agroforestry (ICRAF)

1. Tree-soil-crop interactions in rubber agroforestry systems can be managed at the plot, farm, and landscape levels. At the plot level, a mixed-age stand can be maintained for cash flow while diversifying. At the farm level, credit can cover replanting costs until cash flow is positive. At the landscape level, policy harmonization across forest and agriculture is important. 2. Agroforestry is understood as applying at the plot, landscape, and governance levels, reflecting the interface of agriculture and forestry. It involves tree-soil-crop-livestock interactions as well as interactions between tree cover, livelihoods, and ecosystem services across landscapes. 3. Rubber

This presentation by Henry Neufeldt was given at a session titled "New findings on the dynamics between forests, land use and food security" at the Global Landscapes Forum in Lima, Peru, on December 7, 2014. The session discussed direct and indirect roles of forests and trees in food systems, the importance of food production systems across the forest-agriculture continuum for food security, dietary diversity and nutrition, and the ensuing implications for land use. The social, economic and environmental synergies and trade-offs between forests and food security and related management interventions, as well as relevant response options will also be discussed. The debate also touched upon questions of sustainable land use under a post-Kyoto climate agreement.

Forests play a crucial role in food security and nutrition in three key ways: 1) Forests directly provide food and generate income that supports food access for over 1 billion people worldwide. Forest foods contribute significantly to dietary diversity and quality. 2) Forests sustain agriculture through ecosystem services like water regulation, soil health, and pollination that support food production. 3) Maintaining forest and landscape diversity increases the resilience of food systems and dependent communities to climate change and other shocks by acting as a safety net during crises.

World Agroforestry (ICRAF)

Rice-fish farming provides socioeconomic and environmental benefits in Bac Kan province, Vietnam. It increases food security and livelihoods through higher fish yields and income. Rice-fish also improves soil fertility and provides pest control with less need for fertilizers and pesticides. However, there are some risks from extreme weather and potential over-fertilization. Households practicing rice-fish tend to be more food self-sufficient despite smaller land areas. However, national policies promoting hybrid rice and food security could reduce rice-fish. The system would benefit from further research on adaptation and environmental impacts for payments for ecosystem services.

Influence of some site factors on germinative parameters of Quercus seeds

AI Publications

The genus Quercus has a high economic and ecological potential in Mexico. Nonetheless, its populations are reducing yearly, which demands the implementation of efficient management strategies to preserve them. To determine germinating capacity of seeds, and to learn about their relationship with some conditions of collecting sites (latitude N, accumulated degree-days >5 C in the frozen-free period (AD), precipitation of growing season (PGS)) we used information of seeds and collecting sites for natural populations of Quercus crassifolia, Q. jonesii, Q. polymorpha and Q. potosina. We determined that Q. potosina, the northernmost population; showed higher values of seeds mean weight, percentage of germinated seeds (PGS), average germination time (AGT), peak value (PV), and germination energy (GE), than other species. Q. polymorpha also showed high mean values of seeds weight, PGS, PV, and GE and it was collected at northern latitudes near those of Q. crassifolia and Q. jonesii. Q. jonesii was the southernmost population and showed lower values in these parameters. On the other hand, the analysis also determined that Q. jonesii, Q. plymorpha, and Q. potosina had quicker germination than Q. crassifolia. We inferred that for the species in the analyzed sites, increasing PGS improves sites conditions, which promotes better germination of germplasm.

Conservation planning for crop wild relatives brings agricultural organizatio...

CWRofUS

Our native crop wild relatives have proved useful as genetic resources in breeding better food, forage and feed, industrial, and ornamental crops. Their utilization is expected only to increase with better information on the species and improving breeding tools, but may well be constrained by their limited representation in conservation systems and the ongoing loss of wild populations due to habitat modification, invasive species, climate change and other impacts. Complementary ex situ and in situ conservation efforts for native crop genetic resources are therefore warranted, with species-specific requirements, and the necessity for education and outreach in conservation, making collaboration across conservation institutions the most prudent way forward. We present foundational information useful to collaborative efforts. An inventory of U.S. crop wild relatives has prioritized taxa related to a broad range of important crops. Utilizing occurrence data gathered from herbaria and genebanks in combination with expert inputs, resulting potential distribution models are enabling the identification of hotspots of taxonomic diversity of wild relatives in the country, and a ‘gap analysis’ methodology is facilitating efforts to identify those taxa and geographic areas of particular conservation concern. Results indicate that a broad range of wild relative diversity remains to be conserved. Numerous populations of high priority taxa could be actively managed in existing conservation areas, although many are distributed in areas without long-term habitat protection. We discuss the value of collaboration across agriculture and botanic garden organizations to better conserve our nation’s heritage of crop wild relatives.

AI Publications

This document summarizes a case study on the value chain of products from Carapa oreophila, a tree species found in the Kilum Mountain forest of Cameroon. Three main traded products were identified: 1) fuel wood, 2) wood craft goods like tool handles, and 3) leaves used to wrap processed rodent meat. Fuel wood and leaves had high market value and turnover, while wood crafts had lower market value but high turnover. Harvesters supply both fuel wood and leaves. The incomes are used to meet household needs. However, current harvesting methods are unsustainable and do not support long-term conservation of the forest resource. The document recommends domesticating Carapa oreophila and developing its seed oil to provide

The document discusses the importance of forest stewardship in Pennsylvania. It describes the many benefits that forests provide, from supporting biodiversity to economic benefits from timber and tourism. It outlines the history of forest use in PA and the need for sustainable management practices on private lands given most forests are privately owned. The Pennsylvania Forest Stewardship Program aims to encourage sustainable forest management through education, technical assistance, and encouraging management plans for private landowners.

Plant adaptation to climate change - Scott Chapman

Climate Change Research Strategy for Primary Industries

The document discusses opportunities for plant breeding to adapt crops to climate change. It notes that breeding takes 5-25 years but new technologies can accelerate it. Various challenges are mentioned, such as which future environments and diseases to breed for, how much genetic variation exists, and which traits and methods should be used. Trait dissection, genetic mapping, and accelerated breeding strategies using markers are presented as opportunities to develop new crop varieties suited to future climates through exploiting genotype-environment-management interactions.

Food security and nutrition: The role of forests

IIED

This document summarizes a presentation on the role of forests, trees, and agroforestry in food security and nutrition. It discusses how over 1 billion people rely on forest products for nutrition and income, and outlines the hypothesis that trees and forests are important for dietary quality and diversity through providing nutritious wild foods, supporting diverse agricultural landscapes, and providing ecosystem services. It then describes a study that found a relationship between higher tree cover and greater child dietary diversity in 21 African countries, based on nutrition and remote sensing data, but notes the limitations of this analysis. Finally, it lists some of CIFOR's current research projects relating to this topic.

Alexander Decker

This document summarizes a study that assessed forest tree species retention and cultivation in rural farming systems in Cross River State, Nigeria. The study found that tree retention and cultivation is influenced by their roles in soil protection, climate moderation, and biodiversity conservation. Trees were found to significantly predict the quantity and income of forest products. However, trees in high forest areas provided greater quantity and income than trees on farmlands. While trees on both farmlands and in forests contribute to rural incomes, trees in forests had a higher contribution. The study recommends improving tree retention and cultivation on farmlands to increase benefits and reduce pressure on primary forests.

Energy for One World

The document summarizes the findings of the 2023 Forest Declaration Assessment. It finds that the world remains off track to meet the goal of halting deforestation and forest degradation by 2030, as global deforestation in 2022 was 21% higher than needed. While some forest regrowth and restoration efforts have increased, tracking progress is difficult due to lack of transparency. Several regions continue to lose high integrity forests at alarming rates. However, over 50 countries are on track to eliminate deforestation, and some like Indonesia and Malaysia have significantly reduced rates, showing that political will can drive change. But overall, profound challenges remain if global forests are to be protected to support climate, biodiversity and economies.

CGIAR

The document discusses forests, trees, and agroforestry research being conducted across multiple themes and centers to improve livelihoods and environmental management. It notes that 4 key elements are needed to effectively monitor and evaluate the large number of projects: 1) a common theory of change, 2) a common operational plan, 3) mapping individual grants to the operational plan, and 4) an outcomes theory to assess progress towards goals. The research aims to increase productivity, incomes, and environmental management through smallholder production, forest and tree conservation, landscape management, climate change adaptation and mitigation, and impacts of trade and investment.

CGIAR Research Program 6 - An overview

CIFOR-ICRAF

Forests are cut, temperatures rise and biodiversity is lost. The poor become poorer and indigenous cultures disappear. With the rise in temperatures, fires increase, droughts lengthen, floods spread, and pests and diseases affecting livestock and plants adapt and multiply. What many are calling a 'perfect storm' gathers strength and the impact rolls across the developing world from the forests to the farms to the atmosphere. This scenario stems in large measure from the poor management of our forests, trees and wild genetic resources. The CGIAR research program outlined in this presentation brings together four of the world's leading research centres in their respective subjects - the World Agroforestry Centre, CIFOR, CIAT and Bioversity - and channels them toward a clear objective: enhancing the management and use of forests, agroforestry and tree genetic resources across the landscape from forests to farms.

1. The group discussed prioritizing deforestation alerts from Global Forest Watch by filtering them based on areas of high conservation importance for biodiversity, like key biodiversity areas, intact forests, and sites for endangered species. 2. They proposed three options - filtering by ecoregions, mapping sites of range rarity as a continuous layer, or allowing users to select layers like protected areas, tiger habitats, and ape sites. 3. Integrating biodiversity data into Global Forest Watch could help conservation groups and governments better target responses to deforestation alerts in the most critical areas for nature. However, challenges may include refining models and maps

This document summarizes a study on the relationship between poverty, the environment, and natural resource use in Jhabua, India. The study finds that poorer households depend on common pool natural resources for a greater percentage of their income than wealthier households. It also finds no consistent relationship between household income level and absolute levels of natural resource use. The study aims to quantify how use of and dependence on natural resources varies with household income and to estimate the impact of natural resource availability on household incomes. It collected data from 535 households in 60 villages over one year to analyze relationships between natural resource stocks, dependence, and household incomes.

Local attitudes and perceptions are important concepts toward wildlife conservation. The success of chimpanzee conservation relies on the perceptions and the willingness of the local population to contribute towards its conservation. This study evaluates the knowledge, attitude and perception of local communities towards chimpanzee conservation in the Tofala Hill Wildlife Sanctuary (THWS) in the Southwest Region of Cameroon. Structured questions based on a questionnaire (open and close ended questions), Focus group discussion and Participatory rapid Appraisal tools and techniques were used to collect information from 300 participants within the participatory age group of 20years and above from six out of 14 villages (Nkong, Bangang, Besali, Bechati, Folepi and Fossimundi) around the THWS. Fifty individuals were sampled from each village and a maximum of 2 individuals (the head of household and one other active participant) participated from each household. Collected data were stored in Microsoft excel spreadsheets 2007 after importation into XLSTAT 2007. 8. 4 statistic software for the different statistical tests. Chi-square test and Spearman correlation were conducted at 0.05 level of significance. The knowledge of interviewees on chimpanzee presence was supported by 90.33% of participants. Local knowledge on the population status of chimpanzee shows that 61% affirmed that their population is reducing primarily due to hunting and habitat loss of poor agriculture. According to 67% of interviewees, benefiting from wildlife through tourism, seed dispersion, bush meat and medicine influenced local attitudes and perception toward chimpanzee conservation while their destructive habits through crop riding, inadequate farmland for agriculture and high income derived from the sales of chimpanzee makes 33% of the local population to change their attitude and perception toward chimpanzee conservation. People with no formal education (62.96%) did not found chimpanzee conservation important whereas more educated people (76.76%) found chimpanzee conservation a priority. Most respondents (57.04%) said the idea of chimpanzee conservation was not supported due to high income (15,500FCFA) generated from the sales of chimpanzee. Increasing public awareness of the benefits and values of chimpanzee conservation through media (radios, televisions and smart phones), handbills, bill boards, seminars and symposiums, and films could help mitigate the poor attitudes of the local population towards chimpanzee conservation. Instigating outreach programs to communities living in close proximity to chimpanzee and other wildlife species is often high on the agenda of conservation NGOs with the assumption that long-term change can best be achieved through accelerating change in societal attitudes towards wildlife.

Northwest Timber Dynamics Report

James Arney

This document discusses factors that influence timber supply in the Pacific Northwest, including: 1) The number of productive forest acres by ownership type in Oregon and Washington, which totals around 35 million acres. 2) The distribution and growth capacity of these forests based on site productivity classifications. Higher productivity sites are more common on private lands, while federal lands have more lower productivity sites. 3) The impact that different silvicultural regimes (clearcut, seed tree, shelterwood, selection) can have on timber yields over 100 years when applied to forests of varying site productivity levels.

Statement by the executive secretary of the convention on biological diversit...

Christina Parmionova

Forests harbor some 80 per cent of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity; they support more than a billion people with food, shelter, income, and energy. And they provide three quarters of the world’s accessible freshwater. Containing over half of the global carbon stock in soils and vegetation, forests also support us in combating climate change. The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, or the Biodiversity Plan, is a comprehensive plan to protect forests and all ecosystems. Its goals are closely aligned with the Global Forest Goals. They aim to to protect and restore nature; to prosper with nature; to share benefits fairly; and to invest and collaborate for nature. Over the past year, we have seen bold actions on forest conservation regionally and globally. A number of countries have achieved major reductions in the rate of deforestation. The Belem Declaration on the future of the Amazon Forest, the Three Basins Summit, and the Climate Change Conference all set renewed commitments to step up action to protect forests. But forests continue to face major threats. The theme this year for International Day of Forests “Forests and Innovation: New Solutions for a Better World” is thus very pertinent. We need innovation and new solutions to provide early warning of forest fires and other threats, to combat organized crime, and to promote sustainable forest management and fair supply chains in support of a sustainable bioeconomy. New solutions can build on the knowledge, innovations and practices of indigenous peoples and local communities and help to secure their rights over land and resources. Let us all work together to protect forests and to implement the Biodiversity Plan. Let us work to halt and reverse the loss of biodiversity by 2030, towards our vision on living in harmony with nature. We can all be part of the Plan.

Natural Resource Of Natural Resources

Marisela Stone

While forests provide essential resources and renewable energy, deforestation is a major global problem that increases the risks of climate change. Demand for wood products is rising, contributing to over 4% of global trade. Deforestation destroys animal habitats and reduces atmospheric oxygen. The main driver of deforestation is clearing land for agriculture and development, as cities and populations grow. Efforts to end deforestation could generate economic benefits up to $80 million by restoring forests, while preserving resources, habitats, and a stable climate.

1) The project aims to increase capacity on forest and landscape restoration (FLR) implementation and monitoring in Kenya. This includes developing an indicator database and implementing recommendations to reduce emissions. 2) The project is organized into six work packages focused on developing monitoring frameworks, domesticating FLR policies at the county level, strengthening community forest associations, engaging stakeholders, and ensuring equitable and inclusive approaches. 3) Initial activities included capacity building on natural-based solutions monitoring, domesticating the national FLR plan into county plans, and supporting reactivation of community forest associations.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...

Levi Shapiro

Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg, The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation. This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability. Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots. The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee. • The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act. • The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X. • The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
