This, just released, from the fantastic folks at Sidedoor Podcast - a deep dive into carbon, markets, and the exceptional work that Smithsonian Panama ForestGEO and Smithsonian scientists are doing to anchor the importance of tropical forests. play.prx.org/listen?ge=prx_…

Here is an exceptionally clear, well-thought-out perspective on the critical steps needed to improve forest voluntary carbon markets. And 1 of these is clearly measuring forest carbon (GEO-TREES!). Hats off to Rohini Pande for putting this together. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Check out highlights from last year's sustainability research project in Madagascar! If you want the opportunity to engage in ocean sustainability and coastal resilience research, apply to our 2024 Summer Fellowship Today!

Can local landholders financially benefit from tropical reforestation? Using 1.1 million measurements, we found that timber is rarely more profitable than cattle. But carbon payments can tip the scales & make reforestation even more profitable than cattle! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Such a powerful panel at COP28

YES: Paying people to replant tropical forests − and letting them harvest the timber − can pay off for climate, justice and environment theconversation.com/paying-people-… via The Conversation U.S.

Space agencies have satellites that can measure the size of #forests for amount of #carbon . GEO-TREES, with scientists manually measuring trees in plots around the world will build a ground-sourced reference system to calibrate and validate these satellite measurements ForestGEO

STRI-ForestGEO will be participating in the COP28 Panel 'From Ground to Space: The Future of Forest Carbon' on Dec. 8 @ 3-4pm GST. Click the link to learn about the speakers & watch the event live! 💻rb.gy/6di1xw

What a panel - so excited to launch the GEO-TREES platform - building a structure to support ground-validated measurements of carbon in all the world’s forests - with Bezos Earth Fund Smithsonian Smithsonian Panama ForestGEO European Space Agency World Resources Inst ForestPlots and more!

Merecidamente celebramos la abolición del ejército con una bella nueva moneda, recordando que la inversión en la educación, la cultura y la protección de la naturaleza tiene valor muy superior al gasto en temas bélicos. Gracias Don Pepe! 🇨🇷

We will miss you Eze Chinedu and we can’t wait for your next trip to Panama!
