🌲 As part of the ongoing collaboration between IUCN and the International Model Forest Network, the IUCN Forest and Grasslands Team recently attended the 2026 Annual Advisory Committee Meeting of the Regional Model Forest Network – Asia alongside IUCN Asia and IUCN India. This important convening was organised by RECOFTC and hosted by the Department of Forests and Park Services of Bhutan.

🦗 The meeting brought together over 50 representatives from eight existing Model Forests, three prospective Model Forests, and a variety of governmental and non-governmental partner organisations for technical and knowledge-sharing sessions, as well as field visits and cultural exchange. IUCN presented on several topics, including gender-responsive forest landscape restoration and equitable green value chains. The meeting underscored the impact of Model Forests in Asia, demonstrating their importance to forest conservation, ecosystem restoration, and sustainable livelihood development in the region and beyond.

Earth’s rivers are always changing.

The SWOT satellite tracked how rivers swell and shrink over the course of a year. The data show the seasonal swing may be about 28% less than previous model-based estimates.
