A new study analyzing four decades of tree records across the Amazon and Andes reveals that climate change is altering tropical forest diversity in uneven ways. While overall species richness remains stable, some regions are losing tree species due to hotter and drier conditions, while others are gaining them. Rainfall patterns prove as crucial as rising temperatures in these changes.

Japan's Forestry Agency will introduce a system to quantify the environmental contributions of companies involved in forest conservation. By making these efforts visible, the initiative aims to encourage corporate participation through recognition from customers and markets. It targets the profit-sharing afforestation program, measuring impacts like water storage and carbon dioxide absorption.
