No full textAu cours des quatre prochaines années (2022-2025), le Centre de Recherche Forestière Internationale (CIFOR) et le Centre International pour la Recherche en Agroforesterie (ICRAF) mettront en œuvre un programme d’appui à la recherche appliquée en écologie et en sciences sociales en vue de renforcer l’impact de cette recherche sur la gestion durable des écosystèmes forestiers d’Afrique centrale
Applied research in ecology and social sciences in support of sustainable management of forest ecosystems in Central Africa
No full textOver the next four years (2022–2025), the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and the International Center for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF) will implement a support programme for applied research in ecology and social sciences. Its goal is to strengthen the impact of this research on the sustainable management of forest ecosystems in Central Africa
CIFOR-ICRAF: Gender equity and social inclusion across the agri-food landscape
No full textThe Center for International Forestry Research and World Agroforestry (CIFOR-ICRAF) have long engaged with communities, focusing on people-first solutions to environmental challenges that threaten sustainable and equitable agri-food systems. CIFOR-ICRAF has identified inequality as one of the five global challenges to address strategically over the next 10 years. As a cross-cutting theme, gender equity and social inclusion (GESI) informs the way the organization works across all its activities, from forest and agroforestry landscapes to climate change policy and action to inclusive value chains. Central to its approach is the need to address the power dynamics that shape the unique experiences, barriers and opportunities of the diverse and intersecting identities of women, including indigenous peoples, youth, refugees, and other marginalized groups. Drawing on a deep and evolving understanding of the barriers to gender equality and inclusion, CIFOR-ICRAF conducts applied research to explore the dynamics of gender and other social categories in forestry and agroforestry landscapes. This presentation will discuss institutional efforts to mainstream gender equity and social inclusion by providing examples of research-led development projects across the institution, as well as the importance of centering justice and resilience in these efforts. The presentation will provide examples of previous efforts and discuss the future of the organization
Forests, Fairness, Finance: CIFOR-ICRAF’s vision for global climate action at COP29 in Baku
No full textThe 2024 Forest Declaration Assessment recently showed that, despite global commitments to halt and reverse deforestation by 2030, progress remains alarmingly insufficient. Last year, deforestation and forest degradation continued at the same levels, or even worsened in some places, with primary forests facing significant destruction. Forest fires, exacerbated by human-induced climate change and land clearing, are growing in intensity and frequency, further undermining forest conservation efforts. Meanwhile, over 1 million hectares of tree cover was lost in 2023 in forested Key Biodiversity Areas, internationally recognized as critical for endangered species. Without a transformation of economic models and a global commitment to prioritize forest conservation, the world’s 2030 forest goals will remain out of reach
ICRAF-ISRIC Soil VNIR Spectral Library
No full textThe ICRAF-ISRIC Soil VNIR Spectral Library contains visible near infrared spectra of 785 soil profiles (4,438 samples) soils selected from the Soil Information System of the International Soil Reference and Information Centre (ISRIC). The samples consist of all physically archived samples at ISRIC in 2004 for which soil attribute data was available. The spectra were measured at the World Agroforestry Center (ICRAF) Soil and Plant Spectral Diagnostic Laboratory. The samples are from 58 countries spanning Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, and South America. Associated attribute data, such as geographical coordinates, horizon (depth), and physical and chemical properties, are provided as separate tables. Using different methods for linking related files as explained in the pdf document accompanying this dataset (0ICRAF-ISRICSoilVNIRSpectralLibrary.pdf), the visNIR spectra can be linked with all tables holding both physical and chemical properties
