Reuters: I ndigenous people in the Philippines are calling on the government to authorise a force of tribal rangers to help preserve the country's forests and curb climate change. Forest management and protection are an important part of the Philippines' strategy to reduce its carbon emissions by 70 percent by 2030, a commitment made for the new global agreement on climate change reached in Paris last December. The Southeast Asian country aims to reduce its emissions from deforestation and slash-and-burn...
NASA Maps Miles Of Fungi Networks To Predict Which Forests Will Survive Climate Change
2016-04-02 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Inquisitr: There is an entire world beneath the soil, an intricate network of fungi that stretch for miles in immense communities. In a forest, this fungi plays a critical role in the ecosystem and may help scientists map the effect climate change has on the Earth`s precious trees. The underground forest of fungi can be mapped from space, and NASA`s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has gotten involved in an exhaustive attempt to map these huge fungal networks using satellites, United Press International reported....

Greenpeace reveals Indonesia's forests at risk as multiple companies claim rights to same land?

Guardian: Indonesias palm oil, mining and logging industries are enmeshed in a cats cradle of overlapping land claims and corruption that are hampering attempts to stop deforestation and fires, newly released maps reveal. Compiled over almost a decade by Greenpeace using data from provincial governments, resource companies and others, the interactive maps highlight the vast scale of the concession overlap. Across more than 7m hectares an area equivalent to the Republic of Ireland licences for the same...

Fungi can help NASA deduce how climate change affects forests
2016-04-02 04:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Engadget: A team from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has developed a new method to detect what kind of mycorrhizae are attached to the roots of trees using only satellite images. Mycorrhizae are fungi that form mutually beneficial relationships with the roots of trees, increasing the plants' absorption capability and providing them with direct access to sugars. There are two types of mycorrhizae, and each tree/plant species is only associated with either one of them. Since the two respond differently to...

Simulation shows how modern interventions can affect tropical forests and indigenous people

ScienceDaily: People have thrived deep within the Amazon rainforest for hundreds of years without contact with the outside world. The constant encroachment of modern civilization, however, is putting the long-term sustainability of these people, and the ecosystems they inhabit, at risk. Now a team of Stanford researchers has developed a computer model that can help understand the ways that activities such as clear-cutting and welfare programs might impact the future of the land and the people who live inside...
