We analyses the Global Forest Watch map of forest loss (satellite based) and the compulsory notifications of forestry operations, and overlap them with the prioritization map of high biodiversity value forest produced by the Finnish Environement Institute @syke.fi

Our latest research shows that harvesting in Finland also takes place in forests of high biodiversity value, which highlights the need to integrate biodiversity conservation more closely into forest management practices.

🔎Tutkijamme selvittivät hakkuiden laajuutta biodiversiteetin kannalta eriarvoisissa metsissä Suomessa. Tulosten mukaan hakkuita on tehty myös biodiversiteetiltään erityisen arvokkaissa metsissä, joten luonnonsuojelu tulisi integroida tiiviimmin metsänhoitoon. ➡️ r.jyu.fi/Gqk @remiduflot.bsky.social
Monimuotoisuuden turvaaminen vaatii parempaa huomiointia metsänhoidossa
Suomea tapausesimerkkinä käyttäen Jyväskylän yliopiston tutkijat selvittivät, onko monimuotoisuudeltaan arvokkaimmat metsät edelleen hakkuiden kohteena vai ovatko ne tehokkaasti suojeltuja.

When someone mentioned Landscape Features in agricultural landscape, what image do you see in your mind?

If we say that Landscape Features can be part of viable rural areas, what would be your vision on this?

Join us on Tuesday, 14.10 at 10am to speak about it!

The new European Butterfly Red List is published today, with worrying findings. Over 1/4 (28%) of Europe’s 442 species are threatened with extinction or are close to being so. The situation is far worse for our 148 endemic species, 40% are now threatened or nearly so www.bc-europe.eu/webpage.php?...
Front cover of the European Butterfly Red List, showing Polyommatus humedasae. The report can be downloaded at https://www.bc-europe.eu/webpage.php?name=red-list-butterflies-2025

- Extensively managed forests contributed little to support species richness of any of the studied taxonomic groups.

Rémi Duflot @remiduflot.bsky.social · 20d
📈The main findings are:
- Unmanaged forests are the “backbone” of biodiversity conservation
- it is possible to maintain a certain proportion of forest area dedicated to timber production without compromising overall forest biodiversity

🛠️We mobilized multi-taxonomic biodiversity observations from the Bottoms-up database and develop a ‘‘virtual” landscape approach (i.e., data resampling). We created landscapes that vary in proportion of extensively, intensively, and unmanaged forests, and explored the whole range of possibilities.

🔔New paper out in PNAS !

We investigated how the Triad landscape zoning can support multi-taxonomic biodiversity in European beech forests.🌳🌳

🪵 We recommend increasing the area of unmanaged forests and improved extensive practices.

This is exactly what they taught me at the agricultural engineering school nearly 20y ago !!

This doesn't solve the greenhouse gas emission though...🤔

It was a pleasure to work with the Bottoms-up cost action consortium !

Thank you for having me and the great opportunity.

Joining forces and sharing biodiversity data is very important. It is the only way to make large powerful datasets allowing to test hypotheses at large scale. As we did here !

Sabina Burrascano @sabina-burrascano.bsky.social · 21d
Just out in PNAS!

We used multi-taxon data to model virtual forest landscapes.

Forest withdrawn from timber harvesting are needed in a much higher share than they currently are in Europe, and extensive forests contribute less than expected to multi-taxon diversity.

Last year we published a paper on butterflies and moths biodiversity in Finnish municipality. 🦋

Which municipality do you think have the highest species richness?
