Global deforestation hasn’t slowed in any significant way in the four years since 127 countries pledged to halt and reverse forest loss and degradation by 2030.

The newly published 2025 Forest Declaration Assessment shows that nations are 63% off track from meeting their zero-deforestation target.

Global goal of zero deforestation by 2030 is severely off track

Asuper interesting read on #Russia’s grain “diplomacy” in sub-saharan Africa

Zentrum für Osteuropa- und internationale Studien (ZOiS) @zois.bsky.social · Oct 9

Russia is exporting more and more grain to African states. Yet, food security in many of these countries is deteriorating.
In the new #ZOiS_Spotlight, agricultural economist Pavlo Martyshev explains how Russia is advancing its own geopolitical interests by trading with autocratic governments.

Scientists overwhelmingly recognize the value of sharing null results, but rarely publish them in the research literature

Researchers value null results, but struggle to publish them

Survey finds that fear of reputational harm and a lack of support and publication platforms are among respondents’ key concerns.

The researchers contacted the authors of the original studies -- 156 of them.

And you know how many were willing to share data?

14% of them.

If we're going to address replication issues, it has to start with sharing data.
