Healthy forests in protected Indigenous territories could help reduce the risk of certain illnesses for humans, a new study shows.

Researchers found that Indigenous territories can effectively reduce the risk of vector-borne or zoonotic diseases if they’re located in municipalities with at least 40% forest cover.

The image depicts a fallen tree trunk lying horizontally on the forest floor, surrounded by vibrant green moss and small plants. The tree trunk is covered with patches of bright yellow-green moss, contrasting with its rough, gray bark. The moss is dense and lush, with some small orange buds visible among the greenery. The background features a variety of green plants and trees, indicating a dense forest environment. The lighting suggests a natural, outdoor setting with dappled sunlight filtering through the canopy. The overall scene is rich in texture and color, highlighting the natural beauty of the forest floor.

Climate change has played a major role in Europe, the world's fastest-warming continent, where an area the size of Cyprus has been lost to wildfires this year. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/09/05/climate-change/europe-wildfires-lost-area-size/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #europe #wildfires #forests

A vivid nature photograph captures a dramatic upward view along a tree trunk, showcasing intricate patterns of weathered bark with curling, peeling layers in rich browns and grays. The composition extends vertically toward bright green foliage above, creating circular bokeh patterns that frame the textured bark surface. Scattered autumn leaves rest on the curved trunk surface.

New Zealand sheep farmers are fighting to stop the loss of pasture to fast-spreading pine plantations, which earn government subsidies to soak up carbon emissions. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/07/28/sustainability/new-zealand-pine-forests-sheep/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #sustainability #newzealand #forests #sheep #climatechange #emissions #carbon #environment

#introduction
Hello, I'm completely new to Mastodon. I'm a scientist, so I thought a server about scientific communication would be interesting. I'm a plant physiologist, more specifically a forest tree ecophysiologist, working on how trees acclimate to #DroughtStress, and generally interested in the effect of #ClimateChange on #Forests .
