This report, First Forest Restoration Monitoring Report in the Ngäbe-Buglé Comarca, Panama, presents early results from the Intelligent Reforestation Programme. Monitoring of 14 one-hectare restoration plots and 15 transects established in 2022 evaluated seedling survival, species richness and successional dynamics across 27 native tree species. The findings demonstrate the potential of community-led, science-based restoration using native species to enhance biodiversity recovery, increase carbon sequestration and support resilient, sustainable livelihoods in Indigenous territories.

This report, Listening to Mangroves: Using Autonomous Recording Units and Machine Learning Tools to Assess Avian Biodiversity in the Mangroves of Coastal Suriname, presents findings from research conducted across six coastal sites between December 2024 and July 2025. Using passive acoustic monitoring and the BirdNET algorithm, the study identified 508 bird species and demonstrated statistically significant differences in acoustic complexity between mangrove types. The research highlights the ecological importance of mangroves for biodiversity and coastal protection, and demonstrates how non-invasive, data-driven tools can strengthen ecosystem monitoring and inform climate-resilient coastal management.

The State of the World’s Seaweeds 2025 presents a global assessment of seaweed biodiversity, production, trade and sustainability, synthesising ecological and socio-economic evidence to inform conservation and responsible industry growth.

It highlights trends in wild harvesting and aquaculture, pressures on coastal ecosystems, governance gaps, and opportunities to strengthen sustainable management and equitable value chains. The analysis supports improved data systems, policy coherence and investment in climate-resilient seaweed sectors.

This Global Change Biology article (DOI: 10.1111/gcb.70595) presents research supporting the project “Enabling Large-scale and Climate-Resilient Forest Restoration in the Eastern Amazon.” The article assesses how logging, fire and forest degradation alter taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity in Eastern Amazon forests, demonstrating significant biodiversity losses in disturbed landscapes. The project integrates field ecology, remote sensing and stakeholder engagement to inform evidence-based forest restoration and long-term resilience in the Brazilian Amazon.
