The article deals with the currently least discussed issue in forestry and forest-based industry as main focus is on energy use of wood context climate change. Using intervention analysis time series roundwood prices from ten European North American countries, we analyzed impact COVID-19 pandemic movement timber prices. study material consists forty-six quarterly logs pulp, both softwood hardwood, covering period 2005-2022. During Covid-19 (2020Q:1-2020Q:4), log mostly underwent declines, changes being largest Slovakia (-35%), Czech Republic (-24%) Austria (-24%), slightly smaller United States (-19%), Poland (-17%), Slovenia (-12%) Germany (-11%) while no significant price were recorded Finland Sweden. In Canada States, sharp declines occurred earlier (2020:Q1 2020:Q2, respectively), Europe, later lasted longer. post-pandemic period, increased, but most cases, shift was not statistically compared to pre-pandemic period. Softwood pulp subject much less change, a increase only Poland. contrast, observed pulpwood hardwood during pandemic.

Ecotourism, natural resource conservation, and local livelihood are one of the most talked-about issues globally. It is seen as nature-based tourism that addresses two primary attributes: improvement biodiversity conservation. The present study does an integrative literature review on ecotourism to comprehend varied views by pinpointing gaps for future research. accomplishes research goal in ways. First, descriptive analysis carried out using a categorization framework containing articles published between 2002 2021. Second, content identified observational approach systematically evaluate resources thematic used address questions. findings demonstrate that, despite variations over years, overall publication trend growing. majority conducted developing nations results show they still struggling manage their resources. concludes there exists insufficient evidence base actual functioning ecotourism. Moreover, few studies have considered importance good governance, role tour guides, impact psychological, technical, political factors. issue climate change carbon footprints further addition it. recommends maximizing potential benefits conservation with help "coexistence model", i.e., community-based (CBET). Further, measuring carrying capacity sites providing vocational training unskilled community will enhance efficiency sector. Lastly, it would be step ahead build proper knowledge about eco-tourist use eco-certification successful business.

Abstract Community-based conservation initiatives are essential for mitigating climate change and biodiversity loss. Yet, the communities leading these efforts themselves disproportionately impacted by change. Despite this, there is little insight about how resilient community-based institutions to extreme weather contextual factors, such as material wellbeing, further affect their durability. We examined this dynamic across nearly 20,000 community-managed forests in Nepal using high-resolution mapping of forest from 2018–2023. Our analysis revealed that, without community management, tree clearing doubled response anomalous precipitation patterns. In contrast, showed no loss, with resilience similarly bolstered wellbeing. Unlike formal protected areas, also maintain local access resources, likely limiting harvesting encouraging cultivation non-timber products. These findings underscore vulnerability instability protective potential management.

Community forestry (CF) is one of the major forest management modalities in world. A growing body literature documents various outcomes and interactions people with CF, but limited studies have assessed mode forest-people interaction considering changing socio-economic environmental contexts by employing a broader theoretical framework. Our study employed Ostrom's social-ecological system (SES) framework accompanied meta-synthesis peer-reviewed (n = 74), review policy census reports 28), interviews four stakeholder groups 47) group discussions district-level user 20), to explore changed context Nepal's mid-hills since 1990 s. The revealed transformational changes compared conditions which CF was developed during Changes forces (or factors) SES, including demography, development, government discourse are so pronounced that its feedback discernible. For example, evolving dynamics their relationship altering land use practices, resource patterns, farm-forestry linkage, pool human resources, reflected diminishing participation, social capital, collective action, (voluntary) contribution management. Such (emerging) could further jeopardise institutions deliberation, weaken forest-food security nexus, augment leadership gaps management, impede country's efforts achieving global climate development goals. To revitalize this context, we suggest community forests should be managed three different models: urban, protection production putting payment ecosystem services place. As Nepal leader policies informing around world, our offer an insight decision-makers other countries for recalibrating local SES.
