In rural Costa Rica, even small patches of trees help block dangerous mosquitoes. Nature might be our best public health ally. #DenguePrevention #Biodiversity #TreeCover

"As some countries show political will to reduce forest loss and others do not, the frontiers of forest loss are shifting: the notable reductions in Brazil and Colombia were counteracted by sharp increases in forest loss in Bolivia, Laos and Nicaragua, and more modest increases in other countries." - World Resources Institute

India Lost 2.33 Million Hectares Of Tree Cover Since 2000: Global Forest Watch

An average of 51.0 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year was released into the atmosphere as a result of tree cover loss in India.

Those who monitor global #forest cover, or have any other interest in global #forests should mask global non-forest areas such as #GrassyBiomes by using resources such as the IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology (https://www.iucn.org/resources/conservation-tool/iucn-global-ecosystem-typology) or the RESOLVE Ecoregions 2017© biomes map (https://ecoregions.appspot.com/). They are much better than the global #treecover / #treeheight maps that so many use.

IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology

The IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology is a comprehensive classification framework for Earth’s ecosystems that integrates their functional and compositional features. This new typology helps identify the ecosystems that are most critical for biodiversity conservation, research, management and human wellbeing into the future.

In sweltering suburbs, people are battling to find more shade

Even in Melbourne's leafy councils, some suburbs are battling to find the shade

As experts push for faster action to boost tree cover in Melbourne's canopy-starved west, councils in other parts of the city are making moves to boost the shade within their own regions.
