Forest and landscape restoration is a cost-effective response to food security, biodiversity, climate, and other development challenges, according to a new report by FAO.

In response to the urgent need to address more frequent and extreme wildfires, FAO has today released new guidance to help countries strengthen the rules and processes they have in place for managing wildfires.  

A new FAO guide is calling for stronger national forest biosecurity systems to help countries protect forests from the growing threat of forest pests and invasive species, the spread of which is being accelerated by global trade, the movement of people and goods, and climate change.
