Nice new paper from our GEODE Lab on "The utility of dynamic forest structure from GEDI lidar fusion in tropical mammal species distribution models across Borneo and Sumatra" (https://doi.10.3389/frsen.2025.1563430). Prediction maps at Zenodo (lnkd.in/gY7e4Ytm) for conservation purposes.

So much wasted effort pursuing peanuts in the face of massive kickbacks to the uber wealthy. Simply shameful..

A timber industry lobbyist now leads the (de)Forest Service and is refocusing on old growth. Shameful..
Felon's EO demands Immediate expansion of logging "federal" forests = nearly 1/3 of forested lands in the U.S.
This destruction is an ongoing colonization disaster for the ecological balance of this continent, endangered wildlife, Earth & humans.

Gotta pay very close attention to this given the backlash against (or worse, utilization of) identified O&MG lands.
Old-growth, fire-resistant Douglas-firs marked for logging as part of the Paul's Payoff timber sale, on the BLM's Medford District (sw Oregon). Square this w/the agency's official statement that "they don't log old-growth"...?

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.
