Raising the profile of woodfuels in the forest landscape restoration agenda by Harvey, C.A., Guariguata, Manuel R.

“…In landscapes where woodfuel use is prevalent, FLR initiatives should consider enhancing wood fuel supply by growing trees, promoting fuel‐efficient cookstoves and kilns, and shifting pressure from natural forests and woodlands to planted trees. We argue that if wood fuel issues are considered in the design, implementation and monitoring of FLR initiatives and are supported by appropriate policies, resources and technical capacity, this will greatly enhance the sustainability and success of FLR initiatives.…”

Promoting adoption of sustainable land management technologies by women and couples in Ethiopia: Evidence from a randomized trial by Leight, Jessica, Bahiru, Kibret Mamo, Buehren, Niklas, Getahun, Tigabu, Gilligan, Daniel O., Mulford, Michael, Tambet, Heleene

“…There is, however, some evidence that tree survival rates and tree health are weakly lower in intervention households compared to control households who spontaneously planted trees. Some positive effects on equitable intrahousehold decision-making and task-sharing are observed, especially in the couples’ training arm, but in general there is no robust evidence that either intervention significantly shifted intrahousehold gender dynamics.…”

Polymotu : A new concept of island-based germplasm bank based on an old Polynesian practice by Bourdeix, Roland, Johnson, V., Baudouin, L., Tuia, V.S., Kete, T., Planes, S., Lusty, Charlotte E., Weise, Stephan F.

“…The Polymotu concept (poly=many, motu=island) is to use the geographical isolation of special sites for conservation and reproduction of individual varieties of plants, trees and even animals. This concept is mainly derived from previous initiatives in conservation of coconut palms by ancient Polynesians and some contemporary Thais. …”
