CIFOR–ICRAF publishes over 750 publications every year on agroforestry, forests and climate change, landscape restoration, rights, forest policy and much more – in multiple languages.

CIFOR–ICRAF addresses local challenges and opportunities while providing solutions to global problems for forests, landscapes, people and the planet.

We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

Green concerns

Conservation NGOs are concerned about the impact of logging. “These are mature forests that have a well-established dynamic, where every tree, every animal has its role,” says Juan Loja of ACCA (Asociación para la Conservación de la Cuenca Amazónica). “To destroy this dynamic could be catastrophic.”
