Italy's appetite for wood fuels an Albanian forest crisis.
Albania has lost about 6.5% of its total forest area over the past 20 years.
Research shows that the country's 2016 moratorium on commercial logging has not stopped the deforestation.

A little while ago, the #Biomass #satellite was launched atop a Vega-C rocket. After about 58 minutes, it successfully separated from the rocket's last stage and set off on a course that will take it to its Sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 666 kilometres, where it will study the biomass of #forests around the world. This work will help us better understand the global carbon cycle and forest ecosystems.
I walked the beautiful De Vuursche NS-trail from Baarn to Hollandsche Rading (13.7 km)!
Forests, heathlands, and royal spots like Paleis Soestdijk and Drakensteyn.
Discover peaceful paths and charming Lage Vuursche!

Major economies are overstating how much carbon their forests can absorb in a climate accounting fudge that could allow them to use even more fossil fuels, new research has said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/04/26/climate-change/forests-mask-emissions-report/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #climatechange #emissions #forests #brazil #australia

Former treasury boss looking past logging to 'grow money on trees'
By Fiona Willan
Former treasure secretary Ken Henry is pushing a new effort to protect native forests from logging and keep carbon stored in living trees.
Shame on CA Senator Alex Padilla for sponsoring the so-called Fix Our Forests Act, a Trojan Horse bill that won't protect communities, but will codify Trump’s attacks on forests. It facilitates logging old-growth trees that are naturally fire resilient, cuts regulations to protect endangered species, & blocks public input and judicial review.
Call your Senators.

@verdantsquare The AVIRIS instrument, since hyperspectral, can see many features and phenomena. It has many applications in #remotesensing of #forests and other #ecosystems.

"While the direct impact of fertilization of increased #CO2 and nitrogen deposition and its water conservation benefits can boost recovery, this positive effect could have been outweighed by the adverse effects of climate warming and water scarcity"
Más indicios de que los #bosques podrían estar viendo perjudicada su capacidad de recuperación, especialmente desde los años 90

Q: How can we fight Deforestation around the world?
A: Provide an income to landowners for leaving their land as forest, paying them to keep it forest. How can that be done and paid for / funded?
