Since 1990, China has added more than 170 million acres of forest, an area roughly the size of Texas, according to a new U.N. report.

Včera Vláda schválila dva strategické dokumenty - Politika krajiny s výhledem do roku 2050 a Strategie ochrany biologické rozmanitosti ČR na období 2026-2050. Byla radost to připomínkovat. Víc na mzp.gov.cz/cz

Among forestry relevant key topics are 2) biomass logistics, 4) sustainable bioenergy, 5) innovative wood technologies and 6) monitoring agrifood and forestry systems.

Stromem letošního roku se stal Oldřichův dub z Peruce na Lounsku. Patří k nejstarším stromům v Česku, podle pověsti je starý 1000 let. Právě u něj se měl kníže Oldřich zamilovat do pradleny Boženy. Vůbec poprvé získal tento titul strom z Ústeckého kraje. irozhl.as/y4g

Forest monitoring law is scheduled for the @europarl.europa.eu plenary tomorrow. Its expected rejection won't be a big surprise, as it was already rejected by the joint ENVI-AGRI committee. The Council, despite strong objections, reached a concensus on the GA. www.euractiv.com/news/epp-and...

Jiný pohled na ochranu životního prostředí je legitimní. Je ale nedůstojné rozporovat základní poznatky nejlepších vědců světa. Greenfluencerka Rozárie Haškovcová v rozhovoru pro Deník N vysvětluje, proč se staví proti nominaci Petra Macinky na post ministra životního prostředí.

Can't wait for the launch of the Forest Partnership so we can start implementing the SRIA together.

This multidisciplinary conference by @iufro.bsky.social sounds absolutely amazing. Too bad it is totally outside my focus. I'd love to attend. www.iufro.org/events/from-...

African nations have made little progress on the "Great Green Wall," a 5,000-mile-long band of trees aimed at halting the advance of the Sahara Desert. Even where communities are planting new trees, few seedlings actually survive, new research shows.

With the EUDR all news are old news. Lets see what else this week brings.

ENVI & AGRI committees of the @europarl.europa.eu just voted to reject the proposal on monitoring framework for resilient European forests. At the same time they agreed on their position on the Standing Forestry Committee.

And here we go again...

EUDR to be delayed by another year announced @jessikaroswall.ec.europa.eu earlier today. Read more at @politico.eu.

If you don't know why to read the biomass report by JRC, @ec.europa.eu, watch recording of this event summarizing main ideas. Too bad the recording ends a few minutes before the discussion is finished. joint-research-centre.ec.europa.eu/events/role-...

Excellent comprehensive report on the biomass in the EU by the @ec.europa.eu JRC. The parts relevant to forests are nicely written (with only a few boring parts over the 300+ pages of the report). Recommended reading before the EU summer break is over. publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/h...

A new scheme will pay Liberian villagers up front and in cash if they agree to protect their forests. "There is no wasting money on carbon accounting or international consultants," says an expert. "And critically, it is easy to understand — by everyone."

Od 1. srpna mohou mít dřevostavby výšku až 22,5 m. Sice to v tiskové zprávě nepíšou, ale je to určitě výsledek Surovinové politiky pro dřevo z pera MPO, MZe a MŽP (2024). Sláva! mpo.gov.cz/cz/rozcestni...

A Trump plan would allow road-building on more than 9 million acres of the Tongass National Forest in Alaska. "Short of replacing forests with, say, shopping malls, roading is the worst thing done to them," writes Ted Williams.
