What harm can a road do? Plenty. Once built, illegal roads let loggers, miners, poachers and landgrabbers into the jungle, and the felling begins.

Local residents who at first suspected gold or uranium deposits had been found are being won over by the initiative to protect nature and economically develop the areas involved

Tall. Straight. Abundant flowers. And a stunning trunk. What’s not to like about the spotted gum?

Just 192 hectares of ‘natural colonisation’ have been established in England under woodland creation offer

A Brazilian city with a population of 73,000 people is perched on the edge of disaster due to poor urban planning and deforestation. Deep craters are forming in and around the city of Buriticupu, located in the country’s northeast, which have swallowed up houses, streets and people alike.

India lost 668,400 hectares (ha) of jungles on average between 2015 and 2020, a new report has said.

A new study has uncovered that forest loss is changing weather patterns in the world's three largest remaining tropical rainforests. The study, published in the journal Nature last month, found that clearing wide swaths of trees — what's known as deforestation — reduces rainfall in tropical rainforests which actually generate their own rain. When it rains, trees soak up and use that water. They then release that moisture, both through evaporation and through their leaves. That humid air rises and helps create clouds, which in turn create more rain.

The possibility that communication networks of fungi exist connecting forest ecosystems in a 'wood-wide web' has increasingly gained attention among researchers in recent decades.

Deforestation in Brazil's Amazon rainforest fell in January from a year earlier, satellite data showed on Friday, in the first monthly figures under President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

Hot and dry conditions weakened trees, making them more likely to perish from insects and disease.

A globally endangered rainforest with cedar trees more than 1,000 years old will be permanently protected in a new conservancy in southeast B.C. The 58,000-hectare conservancy in the Incomappleux Valley was announced Wednesday by Premier David Eby, who called the valley’s rare inland temperate rainforest “one of B.C.’s greatest treasures.”

Adama Diémé was motivated after seeing once-verdant villages in Senegal without a single tree.

Chestnut forests could provide food security for communities, be a boon for farmers and benefit the environment

Mature trees found in UK forests play a critical role in fighting climate change, a study suggests

Many of the companies promising 'net zero' emissions to protect the climate are relying on vast swaths of forests and what are known as carbon offsets to meet that goal.

The goal of this "assisted migration" experiment is to see if humans could not only help the American chestnut tree deal with climate change but also help restore it.

The beef industry is flattening the Amazon, even when companies tell you it’s not.
