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.

Cleaning of water monitoring sensor - Forest Water Monitoring Station, Southwest Mau Forest.

"This sensor sends out a UV beam, the UV light is absorbed by the nitrate and the sensor then calculates from this absorption how much nitrate is in the water." – Suzanne Jacobs (CIFOR Intern and Postdoctoral Scientist, Justus Liebig Universitat, Giessen).
