Our new study shows how animal biodiversity loss is a climate problem: tropical forests recover far less carbon where seed dispersers have declined.
We’re not just losing forests – we’re losing their ability to regrow.
Reversing that trend could align biodiversity recovery with climate solutions.🧵

Last week we held introductory sessions on our upcoming #Fagaceae #Conservation and #Propagation #Workshops in Laos and Vietnam this September. 45 participants will receive theoretical and handson skills training on cultivating 10 threatened species of tropical Fagaceae. #IDsheets #Knowledgesharing

We are grateful to the #Oak #Conservation and #Research Fund of the #InternationalOakSociety for funding our project "Population Mapping, #Reinforcement, and #Reintroduction of the Oaks of Peninsular #Malaysia". With #UKM and #FRIM, we're ready to secure nine #Quercus species at #FrasersHill. 🥬🌰

We have just initiated our new 2-year project #Conservation and range restoration of ten threatened #Fagaceae species in Laos and Vietnam, funded by Fondation Franklinia, together with Morton Arboretum, @ird-fr.bsky.social and Lao and Vietnamese partners. We look forward to sharing more news here!
