Synopsis (short abstract) Forests around the world are threatened by wildfires, insects, disease, drought, storms, flooding and landslides, as well as other meteorological and human influences. Each of these disturbance types can lead to forest degradation, which, in turn, causes issues with carbon storage and climate change adaptation and threatens the vulnerable communities that rely on forests for their livelihoods. This project was designed to support the development of a mechanism called Assuring the Future of Forests with Integrated Risk Management (AFFIRM). The Mechanism is expected to address gaps in data needs, information and understanding of forest related risks and to foster the development of an integrated approach to risk management for forest sustainability.

Is a forest with 1 000 species better, and managed better, than a forest with 500 species? This issue of Unasylva looks at issues related to forest biological diversity and its conservation and sustainable use. One of the key messages is that numbers are not the only issue.

Despite the important, multifunctional role that forests play in the health of the global environment, there is a lack of high-quality, up-to-date educational materials on forests for schoolchildren. This project was designed to fill this gap by fostering the development of contextualized forest education modules in the United Republic of Tanzania and the Philippines to ensure that forest resources are safeguarded for future generations and that forests are sustainably managed for years to come.
