Germany's woodlands continue to be under stress from heat, drought and beetle infestation, Agriculture Minister Cem Özdemir said in Berlin on Monday on presenting a new report. The woodlands were becoming "a long-term patient," and a long-term cure was needed, he said in presenting the new forestry condition survey for 2023. The data reveal that among the commonest species – spruce, pine, beech and oak – just one in five trees is completely healthy. Özdemir called for a move away from monoculture to mixed woodland, saying that this was a generational project. The report found that there had be...

Portugal is the world’s leading producer of cork. In 2023, cork exports achieved a record value of €1.2 billion, 75 percent of which came from cork stoppers, according to APCOR, the Portuguese association of cork producers. The Amorim Group, Portugal's leading cork company, claims that around one out of three wine bottles worldwide is sealed with a cork stopper made in Portugal. About 20 years ago, significant concerns emerged that cork might lose market share to synthetic alternatives, which were less expensive and carried no risk of spoiling the wine with 'cork taint'. However, the industry ...

Matthew Walley's eyes sweep over the large forest that has sustained his Indigenous community in Liberia for generations. Even as the morning sun casts a golden hue over the canopy, a sense of unease lingers. Their use of the land is being threatened, and they have organised to resist the possibility of losing their livelihood. In the past year, the Liberian government has agreed to sell about 10 per cent of the West African country’s land - equivalent to 10,931 square kilometres - to Dubai-based company Blue Carbon to preserve forests that might otherwise be logged and used for farming, the p...
