The way we learn and share experiences is changing. INBAR’s themed online webinar series brings bamboo and rattan experts from all over the world together to educate, inspire and discuss, without the need for travel. This webinar offers the opportunity to African experts to show the potential of bamboo for energy in Africa by covering three different themes: (i) Technologies of producing energ...
The way we learn and share experiences is changing. INBAR’s themed online webinar series brings bamboo and rattan experts from all over the world together to educate, inspire and discuss, without the need for travel. Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants in the world: a versatile and highly renewable resource which can be harvested annually without causing degradation or deforestation. A...
Abstract Purpose of Review Non-native tree species (NNT) raise a range of different associations and emotions—to many citizens they are just an exotic curiosity in parks, to many conservationists they are an evil to native ecosystems that should be eradicated, to a rising group of foresters they are part of the solution to climate change...
The International Bamboo and Rattan Organisation, or INBAR, is an intergovernmental organisation dedicated to promoting the use of bamboo and rattan for inclusive, green development. We research and strengthen the global knowledge base for bamboo and rattan and raise awareness of their use for: ♣Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation ♣Land Restoration ♣Poverty Alleviation ♣South-South C...

We demonstrate a generalizable approach for assessing climate change effects on tribally important ecosystem goods and services. Indigenous peoples may be highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change because they rely on ecosystem goods and services, such as traditional foods, hunting, timber production, nontimber forest resources, and cultural resources. However, there are few assessments t...
The CFMEU Victoria and Master Builders Victoria have joined other union and employer groups for a collaborative new campaign focused on workplace safety in the building, construction and development industry. Source: Timberbiz The campaign coincides with the metropolitan Melbourne part of the sector moving to the ‘Restricted’ phase, with an aim to continue the great track record of safety the ...
Restoration guidelines increasingly recognize the importance of genetic attributes in translocating native plant materials (NPMs). However, when species-specific genetic information is unavailable, seed transfer guidelines use climate-informed seed transfer zones (CSTZs) as an approximation. While CSTZs may improve how NPMs are developed and/or matched to restoration sites, they overlook genetic f...
When alien plant species arrive in a new environment, they develop novel interactions with native biota that can range from negative to positive. Determining the nature and strength of these interactions is integral to understanding why some aliens are suppressed and others become highly invasive pests. For introduced terrestrial plants, seed and seedling interactions with native biota are crucial...
The roundtable encouraged countries to implement the Secretary-General’s six “climate-positive actions”: investing in jobs and green business; avoiding bailouts to polluting industries; ending fossil fuel subsidies; considering climate risks in all decisions; working together; and ensuring that no one is left behind. Participants discussed climate ambition, needs and barriers, finance, plans...
Ensuring the availability of adequate seed supplies of species and sources appropriate for restoration projects and programs necessitates extensive science-based planning. The selection of target species requires a review of disturbance conditions and reference areas, development of a reference model, and consideration of specific objectives, timeframes, available resources, and budgets as well as...
The forest pathology paradigm is shifting to include complex ecological interactions that contribute to disease development, such as 1) microbial communities associated with the soil or host plant that suppress or enhance disease; 2) invasive pathogens that are associated with new hosts in new environments; 3) host and pathogen populations that display different adaptation and ecological behaviors...
