CIFOR-ICRAF hosted an inception meeting for the Right Tree in the Right Place for the Right Purpose - Seed project (RTRP-Seed) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The meeting brought together diverse stakeholders who engaged in dynamic discussions about the project’s objectives and work packages. Funded by the International Climate Initiative, RTRP-Seed project aims to enhance the tree seed and seedling sector across Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda, with additional activities in Burkina Faso. In her closing remarks, Alice Muchugi, Tree Genetic Resources and Biodiversity Theme Leader at CIFOR-ICRAF, expressed her optimism for the project’s success in Ethiopia. Drawing on the experience of The Provision of Adequate Tree Seed Portfolio in Ethiopia (PATSPO) project in Ethiopia. By supplying high-quality seeds and seedlings from diverse native trees, RTRP-Seed supports progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including: SDG 13: Combatting climate change and its impacts SDG 15: Protecting and restoring terrestrial ecosystems SDG 2: Ending hunger, achieving food security, and promoting sustainable agriculture Learn more about the project: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dgVtF64T #Trees4Resilience

Forests are under pressure from climate change, wildfires, and pests. A new State of the World’s Forests report by FAO reveals the alarming reality and highlights the urgent need for innovation in the forestry sector. Can we protect our forests while meeting the growing demand for wood and forest products? According to the report, the answer lies in innovation.

Blue carbon ecosystems like #mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrass meadows stash outsize amounts of carbon dioxide – regularly outdoing the capacity of terrestrial forests. Protecting and restoring these spaces is increasingly recognized as critical to climate mitigation and adaptation, as well as to food security, livelihoods, and cultures. The Blue Carbon Deck is the go-to source on blue carbon for researchers, civil society and practitioners working in coastal communities. Hosted by CIFOR-ICRAF, the platform ensures that programmes and projects are guided by the latest science while maintaining a focus on the challenges faced by people and foundation ecosystems.

📚 #Publication | Mangrove forests are vital for fish breeding and community livelihoods in Cameroon. Without sustainable management, overharvesting for fish smoking threatens these ecosystems. Through the European Union-funded Governing Multifunctional Landscapes (GML) project, we collaborated with fish-smoking associations and community leaders. Together, we developed brick and metal smokehouses that reduced wood consumption by 33% and 88%, and smoking time from three days to two days and one day, respectively. This project highlights the importance of multi-stakeholder partnerships and community-led initiatives in achieving sustainable forest management.

CIFOR-ICRAF is empowering data-driven decision making for forest and landscape restoration (FLR) in Makueni County, Kenya. 📈 Our #UKPACT project brought together national and county government officials, assembly members, and community representatives to enhance FLR monitoring and reporting. By strengthening collaboration and utilizing data effectively, we’re building a clear picture of restoration progress and informing evidence-based policies. As Mieke Bourne highlighted, county-level monitoring is crucial for tracking impact, sharing successes, and improving interventions for the benefit of local communities.

We were delighted to launch the Centre of Excellence for Biodiversity and Ecosystems in West Africa (CEBio-Eco/WA). The centre aims to promote the use of scientific knowledge and data to inform policies and decision-making processes related to ecosystems and biodiversity conservation in protected areas. Activities at the new centre are funded by the European Union and will be implemented by CIFOR-ICRAF, in collaboration with the Observatory for Biodiversity and Protected Areas in West Africa (OBAPAO) Consortium, which is led by the Centre De Suivi Écologique. Dr. Daouda Ngom (Minister of Environment and Ecological Transition of Senegal) officially launched the centre, together with Dr. Peter A Minang (CIFOR-ICRAF Africa Director), Prof. Cheikh Mbow (CSE Director), and Jean-Marc Pisani, Ambassador and Head of L'Union européenne au Sénégal.
