Behind the rhetoric what is really being done to combat desertification?
In The Independent, Nora Berrahmouni, a forestry officer for FAO and Michele Bozzano, forestry researcher at Bioversity International, point out that for the Green Wall project to succeed, "you need to plant the right [tree] species in the right place" and involve and benefit local communities and help change the belief that taking care of the environment is a luxury.
Genes are gems for food security
Risk management in the face of climate change is something we can all learn from smallholder farmers. As climate change stalks global agriculture, researchers should collaborate with smallholder farmers in enhancing the diversification of crops to ensure food security, says Emile Frison, Director General of Bioversity International.

Rapid development of ICT has made it possible to easily collect georeferenced information on tree species and their environment, and to use it for analyzing biological diversity, its distribution and threats to it. Such analyses can inform development of conservation strategies and priorities, especially across countries or species distribution ranges. We present recent case studies on spatial biodiversity analyses across the tropics, demonstrating how such analyses can help to identify most unique or most threatened populations of a tree species for conservation actions. Insights on initiating collaborative research on important tree species in Asia are then discussed. A power point presentation of the article is also available.
