Tree-based restoration of the floristic and genetic diversity of tropical dry forest
Forests and trees play a key role in many food systems. Directly, they provide people with nutritious foods, and indirectly they provide ecosystem services and income. Food from trees and forests will be increasingly important in the face of challenges from population growth and climate change. B...
This set of training materials enables teachers and trainers to cover forest genetic resources issues in their courses and increase understanding of how to manage diverse and complex forest and other tree based ecosystems sustainably. The training guide covers practical issues that practitioners ...

Throughout Bioversity International’s 2012 Annual Report you will find highlights of our work in 2012 showing how research on agricultural and forest biodiversity can help achieve a sustainable future.
The report gives examples of how our work contributes to ten CGIAR Research Programs, informati...
More than a thousand tree species in Asia and the Pacific are actively managed, for diverse purposes such as timber, non-timber products and ecosystem services. At the same time, many of the region’s tree species are under threat. Asia Pacific Forest Genetic Resources Programme (APFORGEN) is a pr...

Approximately 61% of timber species in the Congo Basin also bear locally used non-timber forest products. Amongst these are fruits of Baillonella toxisperma, and edible caterpillars on Entandrophragma cylindricum and Erythrophleum suaveolens. Participatory mapping combining GPS coordinates and in...
