Native tree seed systems in Asia get another much needed boost from the UK to support #forestrestoration, #climateaction and #indigenouspeoples @BiovIntCIAT_eng @trcrc_org 🙏🌱🌳

The UK’s commitment to biodiversity and nature protection remains steadfast. Together with @nresmalaysia Minister @niknazmi, we officiated the launch of the Seed to Tree project - This 2.5 year initiative with its £1.5 million funding aims to restore forests in Malaysia.

Happy International Women's Day! Although forestry sector is traditionally male-dominated, women across Asia work equally hard to grow trees, incomes and futures for their families, and serve as #rolemodels in their communities: newsinfo.inquirer.net/1915424/beyond… #InvestInWomen

APFORGEN, @UPLBOfficial and @BiovIntCIAT_eng are working together to map gaps in seed source availability and set up information systems, to allow restoration practitioners access right seeds for their project needs, with support from @UKBCFs

Using more #native species in #FLR efforts in the Philippines is constrained by the lack of data on suitable #seed source populations, says Prof Enrique Tolentino jr. #APAC Watershed Congress

@EUFORGEN @IcelandicForest @FORGENIUS_EU @OptFORESTS @NordGen @ForestryFuture @Michele_Bozzano @AMFarsakoglou @FORESTEUROPE @europeanforest @EUClimateAction @MariRusanen Valuable reminder that 'local is best' is often not true. In the age of climate change & after decades of forest loss & degradation of natural seed sources, we cannot afford to stick to strictly local seed in restoration.

🌱🌳Are "local" seeds the best option in #tree planting schemes? Is there such a thing as a "local species" in a changing #environment? 📰Throstur Eysteinsson, @IcelandicForest's director, talks about how "nativism" puts forests #resilience at risk👉euforgen.org/about-us/news/…

Farmers in Northern Lao PDR grow an extraordinary diversity of trees for food, fuel, medicine, fodder and ecosystem services such as shade for livestock and riparian protection. Over 300 species were recorded in farm surveys by Dr Simone @vongkhamho and team at FRC Laos #SER2023
