Fwd: [IUFRO Div 8] Forests to fall victim to "the Humpty Dumpty effect": leading scientists reveal a precautionary tale

by Sheila Ward

Dear IUFRO Meliaceae Working Party: The announcement below may be of interest. Regards, Sheila Ward Assoc. Coordinator IUFRO WP 1.02.04 - Sustainable management and genetic resources in Meliaceae https://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-1/10000/10200/10204/ ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: IUFRO <headquarters(a)news.iufro.org> Date: Thu, Jun 5, 2025 at 1:41 AM Subject: [IUFRO Div 8] Forests to fall victim to "the Humpty Dumpty effect": leading scientists reveal a precautionary tale To: <div8(a)lists.iufro.org> *International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO)* 5 June 2025 / view in browser <http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…> [image: IUFRO Logo] <http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…> [image: text] <#m_-3106213089762013594_> *Forests to fall victim to “the Humpty Dumpty effect”: leading scientists reveal a precautionary tale <#m_-3106213089762013594_>* - A collapsed society and economy cannot be 'put back together again', scientists warn in the International Union of Forest Research Organizations' latest report. - The report explores for the first time, the role of forests in upholding and enhancing the resilience of social and economic systems. - Science shows that regardless of proximity to forests, global economies and societies rely on forests in deeply complex ways, and political shifts can leave forest socio-ecological systems extremely vulnerable. - 'Business as usual' policy making will fail. Scientists are recommending proactive, bottom-up, long-term approaches over short-term economic gain, to preserve the foundations of society. *Find the media release in English, German and French **here* <http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…> . *Vienna, 5 June 2025* - A global report on the role of forests in providing economic and social resilience, has revealed that the rapid pursuit of economic growth, coupled with a critical misunderstanding of how forests can preserve resilience, has set a path for undoable destruction. Researchers have dubbed this "The Humpty Dumpty Effect". Research shows that forests are being pushed to the brink of collapse, which could send ripple effects across the globe, destabilising societies and economies, and just as the nursery rhyme warns, collapsed systems cannot be 'put back together again'. Launched today on World Environment Day, this report is the first of its kind. Leading scientists convened by the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) to explore, for the first time globally, how forests contribute to social and economic resilience in the face of disturbance and change, and how societies can, in turn, support and steward resilient forest systems. Scientists are calling on policymakers to abandon business as usual and recognise that forests are not isolated systems but instead exist as social-ecological systems (SES). In this vein, the world's forests are not immune to global regime shifts. As political polarisation grows, climate change is becoming deprioritised, and markets are shifting in response, and changing the way in which we rely on, manage, and protect our forests. Scientists warn that by failing to uphold forest resilience, we are pushing them beyond the point of recovery. *Dr. Craig Allen, Resilience Scientist and Professor at the School of Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln said:* "It's not just the trees that fall - it's a whole web of relationships between species, soil, water, and people that unravels. Once disrupted, these relationships can't simply be 'replanted'. We need proactive resilience building now, rooted in science, justice and long-term thinking." Indigenous Peoples and local communities have long been championed as the custodians of our forests, often disproportionately impacted by the onset of climate change. Whilst this is true, the report highlights that policymakers underestimate the growing ways in which our world is interconnected. *Dr. Nelson Grima, Coordinator of the Science-Policy Programme at IUFRO said: *"When we destabilise forests, the impacts can be felt across all regions and economies. Forests are everyone's business - not just those living nearby. Every person relies on forests to either regulate their climate, sequester carbon, or to alleviate poverty, ensure food and clean water or to keep economies stable. It's not about proximity." IUFRO's report recommends how policymakers can improve and better understand how forests uphold social and economic resilience in ways that acknowledge the world's interconnectedness. Economic prosperity cannot be considered synonymous with improving the resilience of social-ecological systems, in fact, it's often quite the contrary. On World Environment Day IUFRO is calling on policymakers and decision-makers to transform their understanding of the challenges and solutions our forests face, and to move from reactive, short-term, siloed decision-making to long-term, proactive, systems-based approaches that treat forests as part of our social, economic, and environmental fabric. *#ENDS#* ________________________ *Notes To Editors:* *Find the report and related policy brief: **here* <http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…> *Direct link to report* <http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…> *More details, photos and a list of authors: **here* <http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…> ________________________ *The report launch event details are listed below:* Online roundtable: *Findings from a New Global Assessment on Forests for Social and Economic Resilience* <http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…> World Environment Day, *05th June 2025, 2pm CEST* (online) *Agenda* <http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…> Hosted by IUFRO Science-Policy Programme *Registration* <http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…> *About the report:* This report, titled "Forests as pillars of social and economic resilience", presents the results of the ninth global scientific assessment undertaken within the framework of the IUFRO-led Global Forest Expert Panels (GFEP) Initiative of the Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF).

This Congress was IUFRO's first major global in-person gathering since the pandemic, and the renewed enthusiasm for face-to-face interaction brought exceptional energy and vitality to what became the largest Congress in IUFRO's history. The event also marked the start of a new Board term and Presidency, which will continue through to the next IUFRO World Congress in 2029. Set to take place in Nairobi, Kenya, the first time the Congress will be hosted on the African continent. Among the first initiatives of the new Board was the introduction of dual Division leadership, aimed at enhancing gender, regional, and cultural balance across the organization. The five thematic pillars of the Congress also serve as the organizing framework for this Annual Report, under which IUFRO's activities throughout the year are presented. Beyond the Congress and its rich, diverse scientific program, IUFRO facilitated a total of 62 meetings in 2024 - 37 held virtually and 25 in person, including five hybrid events. Throughout the year, IUFRO also presented several major publications, including three volumes in the IUFRO World Series. The IUFRO Podcast series continued to thrive, with Season 2 shifting its focus from the Congress (Season 1) to the Divisions. A Congress year is also a time to celebrate excellence. Numerous IUFRO awards were presented in recognition of outstanding research and distinguished service.

That's the challenge facing the scientists behind IUFRO's Division 4: Forest Assessment, Modelling and Management. In the latest episode of Branching Out: the forest podcast, Co-Coordinators Bianca Eskelson and Don Hodges describe the world of forest data, what it can tell us, and the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration. Division 4 plays a critical role in helping us understand how forests grow, change, and respond to disturbance, from insects and wildfires to droughts and climate stress. It bridges traditional forest science with cutting-edge technologies like remote sensing, LiDAR, and AI. Data help us plan and we need to focus on resources that can be applied. Listeners will hear how big data supports forest management plans, how simulation tools offer glimpses of alternative futures, and why uncertainty and local knowledge still matter. Bianca quotes George Box: "All models are wrong, but some are useful". Don explains how this Division's work even stretches into forest economics and employment, addressing global shifts in value chains and green jobs. One of the most exciting takeaways? The emergence of AI in forest science. A new IUFRO Task Force, AI for Forest Science, is exploring how machine learning, autonomous sensing, and causal inference could transform how we monitor, predict, and manage forest landscapes. This episode unpacks the power and limitations of modelling the future of forests. Because while we can't collect data from tomorrow, we can prepare for it, thoughtfully and collaboratively. Presented by Jose Bolaños (IUFRO HQ) and Nele Römer (IFSA).

Fwd: Intact Forests Are Essential for Food Security, Highlights Forest Science

by Sheila Ward

Dear IUFRO Meliaceae Working Party: The announcement below may be of interest. Regards, Sheila Ward Assoc. Coordinator IUFRO WP 1.02.04 - Sustainable management and genetic resources in Meliaceae https://www.iufro.org/science/divisions/division-1/10000/10200/10204/ ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: IUFRO <headquarters(a)news.iufro.org> Date: Mon, Mar 24, 2025 at 8:39 AM Subject: Intact Forests Are Essential for Food Security, Highlights Forest Science To: <mahoganyforthefuture(a)gmail.com> *International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO)* 24 March 2025 / view in browser <http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…> [image: IUFRO Logo] <http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…> [image: text] <#m_-1265407713834499929_> *Intact Forests Are Essential for Food Security, Highlights Forest Science <#m_-1265407713834499929_>* - *Forests and trees provide billions of people with food, medicine and sustainable incomes.* - *Climate change, biodiversity loss and unsustainable forest management are making forests weaker and putting their vital services at risk.* - *The global forest science community calls for the best use of knowledge to strengthen forests.* *Vienna, 24 March 2025 -* In 2012, the UN General Assembly proclaimed 21 March as the *International Day of Forests* <http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…>. In 2025, *forests and foods* is the theme for the day. The Vienna-based *International Union of Forest Research Organizations *(IUFRO <http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…>), one of the world's largest and oldest research collaborations, is taking this as an opportunity to emphasize the role of forests and forest science for food security. "The importance of healthy and species-rich forests for the environment and the economy cannot be overestimated," says IUFRO Senior Advisor *Dr Christoph Wildburger* and highlights the fundamental climate-protecting function of forests as CO2 and water regulators. "*Forests also ensure diversified food production*: for example, forests are indispensable for pollinating insects such as bees. They protect rivers and water catchment areas thereby preserving the habitat of fish. Forests also provide green fodder for domestic animals, firewood and protein-rich game meat. They contribute to the livelihoods of more than five billion people worldwide," he says. *Science and research provide the basis for evidence-based policy* *IUFRO President Daniela Kleinschmit*, Professor of Forest and Environmental Policy at Albert-Ludwig University of Freiburg, Germany, calls on political and economic decision-makers worldwide: "*Findings from science and research provide a sound basis for recommendations for the survival of forest ecosystems—and thus for safeguarding human well-being.* This is of particular importance for people whose livelihoods and food sources are directly threatened by the consequences of climate change, loss of biodiversity, and damage to ecosystems." Anyone who obtains food primarily from forests has a great interest in keeping them healthy. Ecologically resilient forests guarantee an intact basic supply, enable cultural vitality, and foster economic progress. "Forest protection measures to mitigate the effects of climate change and to preserve biodiversity—especially in tropical regions of the world—are based on one key success factor: they work best when they are implemented in agreement with the local people who rely on forests for their immediate livelihoods and food sources," Professor Kleinschmit explains. "*Forests can promote the food sovereignty of the local population*. Their agricultural and forestry expertise is a valuable resource and should be integrated into political and administrative measures," she adds. *Forests provide more than timber: food worth billions* Forests not only provide raw materials for the wood-processing industry but also food, fuel, and much more. This means income and jobs, especially for the most vulnerable groups in society worldwide and for people who live near forests. While farmers and private individuals in many European countries, for example, primarily value timber from their forests as an additional source of income, people in other regions of the world rely more on food and firewood from the forest. The *economic benefits of these products should not be underestimated*. In 2022, the global trade volume of pine nuts and wild mushrooms amounted to around 1.8 billion US dollars! Access to wild food from the forest also provides *more variety in the diet* and thus *improves health*. Surveys in 24 tropical countries have shown that the sale of wild foods accounts for four percent of private household incomes. *Science delves into the ways forests support food production, health, and resilience* For ten years, IUFRO has been examining the contribution of forests to achieving *global sustainability goals* <http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…> on behalf of the United Nations and conducting comprehensive interdisciplinary studies as part of its *Science-Policy Programme* <http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…>. Study coordinator Dr Wildburger explains: "In our *global study on forests and food security* <http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…> back in 2015, we were able to show how forests and trees complement agricultural production and thus contribute to livelihoods of the local population, especially in the poorest regions of the world." Professor Kleinschmit, co-author of the study, adds: "Science also shows that agriculture systems that integrate forests and trees are more resilient to extreme weather events such as heavy rain, drought, or storms." IUFRO's *global study on forests and water* <http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…> *,* published in 2018, emphasizes that forests and trees ensure a balanced water supply and safeguard water quality. The 2020 assessment on the *role of forests in poverty reduction* <http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…> shows that trees provide products and services that improve the lives of many people living in poverty and mitigate risks in crisis situations. In 2023, IUFRO also analyzed the contribution of *forests and trees to human health* <http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…> and stressed the importance of forests in providing medicines, food, and other products to strengthen human health. *New global IUFRO assessment on resilience announced for June 2025* The aspects addressed in the former publications will be brought together in a new large-scale study: in June 2025, IUFRO will present a global assessment on the topic of *Forests for Social and Economic Resilience* <http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…>. It assesses the multidimensional relationships between forests and social and economic resilience from different perspectives. To facilitate evidence-based action by political decision-makers, the team of authors is producing an accompanying *policy brief* that summarizes the study results in a compact format. *Join the launch webinar of the resilience assessment!* June 5, 2025, International Environment Day, 02:00 pm CEST *Registration link* <http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…> *About International Day of Forests 2025* - *Watch this* *VIDEO* <http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…> by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) - *Visit the IDF website of FAO*: International Day of Forests 21 March | FAO | Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations <http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…> - *Visit the IDF website of UNFF*: United Nations Forum on Forests » UNFF » International Day of Forests 2025 <http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…> *About IUFRO* The International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) <http://url8074.news.iufro.org/ls/click?upn=u001.C6oMVBOd8j-2B22go-2BVoSNMxp…> is a non-profit and non-governmental worldwide network of 15,000 forest scientists across 120 countries, who work together to enhance the understanding of the ecological, economic and social aspects of forests and trees.
