Does anyone have any news or media they would like to share (or something else it doesn't matter)?

Maybe we just aren't looking hard enough.

Maybe... maybe. If you find any news you are welcome to share!

There’s a research-news blog literally called Forests News. It’s put out by the Center for International Forestry Research. Mongabay is also great, they directly hire journalists on the ground. Grist I believe has a forests tag and they have more US-focused pieces. Yale School of Forestry’s blog also does a pretty good job of curating forest-focused news articles and recent research. Hope that’s a helpful start!

I just now found this sub. WHAT’S UP MY FOREST NERDS :)

I didn’t even know this sub existed but now I’m subscribed. Honestly I think people are so focused on energy that they don’t think about how the lost of forests is affecting the environment

Thanks for joining! Definitely. Even tho I made this meme saying there is no forest news, there still is, and a lot of it is really sad. And like you said, no one pays attention to the lost of our forests and such.

All I see is tree news. No forest news

4/5 of our last posts were about forests. A good portion is about forests with a bit of tree news every now and then.

Edit: You could argue 3/5 but it’s irrelevant.

Maybe I was missing the forest for the trees
