    Originally posted on EUFORGEN Picture, in your mind’s eye, Iceland. You’re more likely to see ice and rock than green forests, and while you might think that the cold and lack of forests are connected, actually it is past land use, rather than climate, that made Iceland treeless. In the 9th century when the first […]

    A Global Landscapes Forum National Policy Dialogue in Indonesia attempts to answer just that By Lynsey Grosfield “For the landscape approach there is no magic formula,” asserted Herry Purnomo, Senior Scientist at the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) during a recent Global Landscapes Forum National Policy Dialogue on Laws and Best Practices for Reducing Fire […]

    In the Autumn of 2015, a thick yellow toxic haze — the likes of which had never been seen before — fell over Kalimantan. Peatland fires from slash-and-burn agriculture and their accompanying toxic smoke are by no means unprecedented in the region, but the exceedingly hot and dry El Niño event that year exacerbated the already-precarious […]
