The planet’s undisturbed old-growth boreal forests may be far more important in the fight against climate change than previously realized, according to a new Science study, which finds that primary forests in Sweden store over 70% more carbon than managed secondary forests.

Ahead of #ForestDay, the collaboration between the IUCN and Suzano offers a practical example of how companies can translate biodiversity commitments into action on the ground. The company has identified 125 threatened species across its landscape and prioritised 19 for targeted conservation action Learn more lnkd.in/ejx_St6Q

#Fast-growing #TreeSpecies are set to dominate future forests, increasing ecosystem vulnerability and reducing biodiversity, climate resilience, and long-term carbon storage capacity. @NaturePlants doi.org/hbmr85 phys.org/news/2026-01-f…

This systematic map review analyzes 995 indexed publications retrieved from major academic databases to assess how arboreta have been studied across time, geography, and disciplines. arbnet.org/news-events/ne… #trees, #conservation, #arboretum

Botanic gardens & arboreta welcome 500M+ visitors yearly and lead vital plant science. This Virtual Issue in @plantspplplanet showcases research tackling biodiversity loss, conserving critically endangered species, ecosystem services and global challenges ow.ly/AT1g50X7eiN

Launched today the Illegal Plant Trade Coalition (IPTC) - mitigating extinction from plant trafficking. Get involved, sign up to our mailing list, follow us #ThinkTwiceTradeRight #IUCNCongress #AbuDhabi2025 #PoweringTransformativeConservation tr.ee/712mMD

🌎 BGCI are at the IUCN World Conservation Congress. Come and see our Secretary General Paul Smith And Director of Conservation Policy and Practice Carly Cowell presenting at two events on Friday 10th discussing species recovery & protected areas. #IUCNCongress

We have published a list of 28 tree species for foresters to grow in the future to adapt to the threats of climate change. The work is the result of huge collaboration with so many organisations and individuals. 👏👏 @Forest_Research ➡️forestry.gov.scot/news/new-tree-…

Scientists discover giant 3,000-year-old trees never before seen by humans dlvr.it/TLsm4b #EarthDotCom #EarthSnap #Earth

As the world warms, plants in natural ecosystems and agricultural settings find ways to respond to the heat. In a new special issue of Science, researchers examine how heat affects plants at multiple scales, from the molecular level to the biosphere. (THREAD 🧵) scim.ag/3HJDRok

The Wollemi pine’s unexpected reappearance has challenged long-held beliefs about extinction. Scientists now recognize that some species thought lost may still survive in remote or unexplored regions. #Wollemipine arbnet.org/wollemi-pine-2…
