Carbon sequestration in Africa: The land tenure problem

Background

Research on afforestation and reforestation projects highlights how tropical forests can store carbon on a large scale. Africa offers vast areas of suitable land for carbon sequestration through these initiatives. However, the author argues that land tenure issues in Africa create an obstacle to achieving this potential.

Reflexiones sobre los sistemas silvopastoriles

Background:

Los sistemas silvopastoriles (SSP) combinan árboles, pasturas, y ganado en un mismo espacio, promoviendo interacciones biológicas que maximizan el uso de la tierra. Representan una estrategia agroforestal para integrar la producción ganadera con la mitigación del cambio climático, al reducir gases de efecto invernadero y rehabilitar áreas degradadas por prácticas extensivas de baja productividad.

Los bosques tropicales estacionalmente secos: ¿una prueba ácida para la restauración?

Background

El artículo explora los desafíos y avances en la restauración de bosques tropicales estacionalmente secos (BTES), uno de los ecosistemas más amenazados y menos estudiados del mundo. Aunque ocupan un 40% de las zonas tropicales, los BTES enfrentan altas tasas de deforestación, presión humana y vulnerabilidad al cambio climático, lo que subraya la necesidad urgente de estrategias efectivas de restauración.

Advances and shortfalls in applying best practices to global tree‐growing efforts

BACKGROUND:

Over the past three decades, there has been a rapid increase in the number of organizations engaged in tree planting to meet international targets exceeding a trillion trees. These initiatives aim to sequester carbon, conserve biodiversity, enhance water quality, and reduce social inequity. Despite these goals, frequent failures and unintended ecological and social impacts have led to the creation of numerous best practice guidelines for reforestation.

Acid Mine Drainage from Gold Mining in South Africa: Remediation, Reuse, and Resource Recovery

BACKGROUND:

Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) is a persistent issue in South Africa, stemming from both active and defunct mines. It generates from waste materials, leading to severe environmental consequences such as water pollution and ecosystem disruption. The acidic and metal-rich nature of AMD poses significant environmental hazards if not properly managed.
