The U.S. Forest Service is logging some of the largest and oldest ponderosa pines in the American Southwest.

These ancient trees are crucial, providing habitat for unique species and storing significant carbon, which helps combat climate change.

Alexandra Morel, a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Oxford, will discuss environmental change, focusing on the critical role of forests. Her extensive research spans tropical forests globally, from Malaysian Borneo to Ethiopia.

Dr. Morel's work explores the intersection of tropical forest ecology and smallholder agriculture, including the ecological limits of poverty alleviation (ecolimits.org). She also investigates the vital role of intact forests in providing global ecosystem services (eci.ox.ac.uk/if21/). A central theme in her research is understanding how forests mitigate and support adaptation to climate change.

A 2012 video by The Mending News explains REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation), an international carbon offset mechanism. It examines California's cap-and-trade system, which has a placeholder for sub-national REDD carbon credits. California's Governor's Forests and Climate Task Force explores partnerships with regions like Chiapas, Mexico, and Acre, Brazil, for these credits.

While some see California's REDD project as an international model, groups like IEN oppose its inclusion in the state's carbon trading system. The video asserts REDD credits lack environmental integrity and pose high risks to Indigenous Peoples and forest communities, citing fraud, land grabs, evictions, and human rights abuses. It concludes REDD is a deceptive solution, enabling pollution and threatening vulnerable communities and the environment.

The workshop included presentations from the Climate Action Reserve and the American Carbon Registry on carbon offset standards and forest project requirements. Great River Energy discussed carbon policy from an energy provider's perspective, while the Aitkin County Land Department updated attendees on a Northwoods carbon offset project. The event was organized by the Aitkin County Land Department, The Forest Guild, Northeastern Area - US Forest Service, and Dovetail Partners.

Domingo Peas, an Achuar community leader from Ecuador, stresses the critical need for humanity to respect the forest. He explains that the forest embodies the entire ecosystem and is a source of power, sustained by ancestral energy. The Achuar fight to defend it, recognizing its importance for all humanity and future generations.

While forests have often been viewed as inert resources, Suzanne Simard’s revolutionary research is transforming forest ecology. A Professor of Forestry at the University of British Columbia, Simard’s groundbreaking work reveals the complex, interconnected nature of forests, particularly the below-ground fungal networks that facilitate interplant communication. Her findings echo the wisdom of First Peoples, offering a new paradigm for sustainable living on Earth.

This video highlights the Forest and Farm Facility (FFF) results in Ecuador since October 2018. Testimonials from Forest and Farm Producer Organizations (FFPOs) demonstrate how FAO's FFF support strengthened the Amazonian bioeconomy, integrated gender, consolidated livelihoods, and created youth opportunities. FFF provides direct financial investment to FFPOs.

FFF has mobilized over $4.6 million, directly impacting 14,600 rural families and promoting good practices across 211,000 hectares. Beneficiaries are 49% women and 75% indigenous. Subscribe to FAO on YouTube. Follow FAO: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Twitter, Weibo. © FAO.
