Kilimanjaro has lost 75 percent of its natural plant species over the last century

A new study suggests that, between 1911 and 2022, land-use change was the primary direct cause of the loss of 75% of natural plant species on the lower slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. Andreas Hemp of the University of Bayreuth, Germany, and colleagues present these findings in the open-access journal PLOS One on October 29, 2025.

My take that no one asked for: we should be paying Brazilians more for the oxygen that their forests produce than for the steaks that they produce after cutting down the forests.

How much do we pay for oxygen? $0. Does that mean it is devoid of value? Of course not. It simply means that our markets are centered on absolutely the wrong things.

DeDuCE: New data to inform action against commodity-driven deforestation - Insights - Trase

A new global dataset on commodity-driven deforestation called DeDuCE is helping governments, companies and civil society assess the deforestation exposure of producer and consumer countries. Its use reveals six insights to inform the transition to zero-deforestation trade in beef, soy, palm oil and other important commodities.
