Pavel Partha is an ethnobotanist and activist. He is the director of the Bangladesh Resource Center for Indigenous Knowledge.

Jerry Melillo has spent 37 years studying heated plots in the Harvard Forest in central Massachusetts. During the fourth decade of warming, stable portions of soil organic matter, once believed to resist warming mediated decomposition, also began to break down. The finding suggests that forest soils may contribute more carbon to the atmosphere under continued warming than scientists previously expected.
Small-scale agriculture and logging account for 70% of direct forest loss in Batang Toru ecosystem in Indonesia.
