Juken New Zealand has given staff at its Kaitāia Triboard plant less than two weeks to comment before it decides the site's future. Executive director Yasufumi Tsuchiya said the company has found no buyer since March to take on the business and all its staff, and is instead negotiating to sell the land, buildings and other assets. A prospective, unnamed buyer has indicated it would restart operations under new ownership and management, but no binding agreement has been reached, and the timing of any restart and rehiring would be the buyer's decision. If the sale falls through, Juken would close the mill and keep trying to sell the land and assets; either way it would stop operating the plant by mid-March. Production of Triboard, an engineered wood panel used in structural walls, floors and fire-rated doors, continues through consultation, and Juken says it will fill all confirmed orders. The Workers First Union says 157 jobs are at risk and warns that delaying re-employment of local staff could leave a restarted mill short of experienced workers.

The Timber, Furnishing and Textiles Union has launched a report, Part of the Puzzle: Timber's critical role in securing more NSW homes, at NSW Parliament House in Sydney, setting out five recommendations for the state government. A survey found 83.1 per cent of respondents work in the housing supply chain, and 68.5 per cent source timber from New South Wales' own forests. Builders and developers accounted for 24.7 per cent of customers named, processors and timber manufacturers 19.8 per cent and governments 15.9 per cent. Grafton and Coffs Harbour were the towns most often cited, followed by Kempsey, Bulahdelah, Taree, Tumbarumba, Kyogle and Casino. NSW secretary Alison Rudman said housing targets must be linked to the workers and materials needed to deliver them. One Lismore worker, whose family has spent four generations in the industry, said houses could not be built without timber workers, while a Heatherbrae worker said banks would not lend for a home because the job is seen as insecure. The union's recommendations include extending wood supply agreements, planting new plantations, creating timber zones, a modular timber housing pilot and active forest management.

Indonesia's Ministry of Forestry is strengthening institutional capacity through staff training and youth conservation cadres. On 11 November 2026, the ministry announced that its Human Resources Education and Training Center received a one-star training institution accreditation with a score of 85.123 in the 2026 assessment, an official recognition of its training quality and competency development. Center head Tuti Herawati said the result would reinforce a quality culture, follow up on accreditation recommendations, and support a shift toward a Corporate University model. In parallel, the ministry is fostering young foresters through the Saka Wanabakti scout movement, focusing on East Java, which has 20 active bases and is the largest such network in Indonesia. The ministry is also working with universities and young environmental activists in Bogor under the theme "Caring for Nature, Protecting Life." The three tracks aim to build a talent pipeline for sustainable forest management.

On 11 November 2026, Indonesia's Ministry of Forestry presented three strategic initiatives at the UN climate conference (COP31) in Antalya, Turkey: innovative financing for 13 priority national parks, institutional transformation toward a Public Service Agency (BLU) scheme, and stronger carbon investment cooperation with Japan to restore 12 million hectares of degraded land. Deputy Minister of Forestry Rohmat Marzuki said the conservation financing scheme would integrate sustainable funding, institutional strengthening, field management effectiveness and measurable conservation outcomes, while stressing that primary authority and responsibility for protected area management remain fully with the Indonesian government. Domestically, the ministry plans to begin transforming four priority national parks—Komodo, Bromo Tengger Semeru, Gunung Rinjani and Way Kambas—into the BLU model to gain financial governance flexibility and improve ecotourism services.

Arilson Chiorato (Workers' Party), opposition leader in the Paraná Legislative Assembly, is challenging Bill 80/2026, which would replace the state's 1995 Forest Law. The text sets out which areas must be preserved on rural properties and addresses the recovery of native vegetation and the situations in which it may be cleared. Speaking in the chamber on Tuesday the 10th, Chiorato said the executive branch seeks to loosen native-vegetation protection rules at a time when the state needs to guard against flooding, warning that residents of risk areas would be more exposed if the proposal passes as drafted. His remarks followed a public hearing he convened with fellow opposition lawmaker Goura (Democratic Labour Party), where researchers and representatives of public bodies and organizations discussed the proposal's effects on vegetation protection and family farming. He cited damage in Apucarana after September storms, a tornado that hit Maringá on November 2, and destruction in Rio Bonito do Iguaçu a year earlier. Utility Copel reported 493,100 consumer units without power after Saturday the 7th's rain.

Colombian palm oil has been added to the list of feedstocks eligible for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) after the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) approved a new emissions value for the biofuel. The decision opens the door for Colombia's palm sector to take part in an industry aimed at cutting international aviation's carbon footprint. The recognition follows nearly two years of technical and diplomatic work led by the National Federation of Palm Oil Growers (Fedepalma) with support from Colombia's civil aviation authority, Aerocivil, during which the country submitted information on national production conditions and sustainability progress. According to preliminary technical estimates in Colombia's submission to ICAO, fuel made from Colombian palm oil could cut greenhouse gas emissions by up to 55% over its life cycle, depending on production and processing conditions and supply chain characteristics. The information was based on a World Bank study documenting national production features, including progress on deforestation and low-emission practices. Fedepalma executive president Nicolás Pérez Marulanda said the recognition creates opportunities for the sector to join a strategic industry, attract investment and generate rural employment. The approval also covers co-processing of renewable feedstocks in oil refineries, technology that Colombia's Ecopetrol possesses.

Colombia's Ministry of Labour, trade union confederations and employer associations and companies in the banana and oil palm sectors launched the Urabá Sectoral Technical Committee on Bananas and Oil Palm in Apartadó, with technical support from the International Labour Organization. The permanent tripartite platform is meant to use social dialogue to address challenges and opportunities in two of the country's leading agricultural value chains. Antioquia's Departmental Subcommittee on the Consultation of Wage and Labour Policies approved the committee on 29 September, making it the first subcommittee in Colombia to set up a regional sectoral committee; the ministry sees it as a pilot other subcommittees can replicate. Initial topics include climate-related challenges, exchange rate fluctuations and international competitiveness, the link between formalisation, productivity and working conditions, and generational renewal in rural employment. Banana growers' association AUGURA and an oil palm extraction company welcomed the initiative, while union representative Sintrainagro called for commitment from employers and institutions to solve workers' problems.

The Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) approved a new emissions value for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) made from Colombian palm oil, making the country's palm oil an eligible feedstock for SAF production. The decision was announced on Nov. 10, 2026. Preliminary technical estimates suggest SAF from Colombian palm oil could cut greenhouse gas emissions by up to 55% over its life cycle compared with conventional jet fuel, depending on production methods, processing conditions and the supply chain. The approval followed nearly two years of technical and diplomatic work led by the National Federation of Oil Palm Growers of Colombia (Fedepalma), with support from the country's Civil Aviation Authority (Aerocivil), documenting production characteristics including deforestation prevention and lower-emission farming practices. A 2026 study in the journal Palmas, analyzing data from 53 palm oil mills and 269 plantations, estimated a carbon footprint of 16.11 grams of CO2 equivalent per megajoule of SAF, versus 89.2 grams for conventional jet fuel. Former agriculture minister Andres Valencia estimated additional annual demand for Colombian palm oil for SAF could reach 600,000 tons by 2035, requiring at least 164,000 additional hectares of oil palm.

Indonesia's presidential special envoy for climate change and energy, Hashim Djojohadikusumo, said at the COP31 Leaders' Summit in Antalya, Türkiye, that Indonesia will keep strengthening social forestry under its national FOLU Net Sink 2030 climate initiative. He reaffirmed the country's commitment to net-zero emissions by 2060 and to protecting primary forests, saying Indonesia had decided against using primary forests to pursue food self-sufficiency and would expand social forestry while keeping them protected. He welcomed the UN's designation of 2027-2036 as the Decade of Afforestation and Reforestation, stressing that such work must protect natural ecosystems and be backed by sustainable financing that addresses local needs. Communities, he said, should be partners in protecting the forests their livelihoods depend on, and progress should be judged by forests actually protected and financing delivered rather than new announcements. Indonesia aims to join the Forest and Climate Leaders' Partnership and expand cooperation on financing for the 2030 Forest Sphere, credible carbon markets and sustainable livelihoods. COP31 runs through Nov. 20.

Reading, Pennsylvania, has received more than $250,000 for environmental stewardship, renewable energy and urban forestry, according to a City of Reading news release. Keep Reading Beautiful won a Shark Tank-style competition at the October 2026 Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful Conference, taking a $2,500 award to advance its Black Walnut Legacy Initiative. The project collects and propagates seeds from a historic black walnut tree reportedly gifted to Reading from George Washington's Mount Vernon estate, with seeds planted during Washington's 1932 bicentennial celebrations; it plans new generations of the trees across the city and resident education on tree stewardship. Separately, the Student Conservation Association received a $250,000 state grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources' Community Conservation Partnerships Program to support tree planting, local tree stewardship and workforce development for young adults. The association manages the Reading Conservation Corps, which in the 2026 season installed a watering system at Oakbrook Community Garden, established a native tree nursery growing 200 saplings, removed invasive plants at several sites, planted more than 150 trees at city parks and Lake Ontelaunee, and supported trail and community garden work. The 2027 season runs March through October.

The UK government launched a consultation on proposals to ensure everyday products sold in Great Britain do not drive illegal deforestation overseas. Commodities linked to deforestation, including soy, palm oil, cattle, cocoa, timber, coffee and rubber, would require businesses to assess their supply chains and confirm they are not driving illegal deforestation abroad. The government said such goods are widely used in products from chocolate and cooking oils to toiletries and cosmetics, but carry risks of illegally seized or cleared forest land. In 2023, UK consumption of deforestation-linked goods was associated with around 29,000 hectares of deforestation worldwide, about one and a half times the size of Manchester, and 9.4 million tonnes of carbon emissions. Many UK businesses have taken voluntary action, but major retailers have called for a stronger regulatory framework. The proposal aims to help the UK meet its COP26 commitment with 144 other countries to halt and reverse forest loss and land degradation by 2030. The consultation seeks views from businesses, environmental groups and international stakeholders, including mandatory due diligence obligations under existing powers, and aims to align with Northern Ireland's regime to reduce administrative burdens, protect the UK internal market and support export-led growth.

Stora Enso, Europe's largest sawn-wood producer, said on Tuesday it will keep its seven sawmills in Austria, Czechia, Poland and Lithuania, along with three cross-laminated timber (CLT) plants, a year after launching a strategic review that could have ended in a sale. The Finnish-Swedish group said the review found clear scope to improve the unit's profitability, so the business will remain part of the group. President and CEO Hans Sohlström said the organisation's size needs adjusting, and the plans could affect up to 250 employees. At the Brand sawmill in Lower Austria, the line that processes smaller logs is set to close by the end of March, putting 115 jobs at risk; the company said the line would require significant investment to continue. Brand's second line and wood procurement will keep operating normally. Affected staff will register with Austria's public employment service, and the company wants to negotiate a social plan with the works council. Stora Enso put the unit under review last November, when it said the seven mills could cut 3 million cubic metres of timber a year. The group also plans to list its Swedish forests as a separate company by the end of March.

EU importers took 44 per cent more logs from the Central African Republic last year, reaching 13,381 tonnes, according to Eurostat — in the year the EU deforestation regulation (EUDR) was due to apply before its December delay. France nearly doubled its intake to 5,850 tonnes, while Portugal took 4,851 tonnes. The Sentry found that Wagner-linked and Chinese firms control almost 40 per cent of the country's commercial harvesting area and urged the EU to move it to standard risk; the EU still rates it low risk, allowing simplified due diligence. Chinese buyers spent US$34.3 million on Central African timber last year, up from $24.1 million in 2022. Raw logs made up nearly nine in ten tonnes importers recorded, despite a national 30 per cent cap on company log exports, with China taking four in five of those tonnes.

A proposed Great Southern Forest national park in New South Wales is drawing opposition from forestry figures. Ian Barnes, a past president of the Institute of Foresters of Australia, now Forestry Australia, wrote on Tuesday to South Coast MP Liza Butler and copied Premier Chris Minns, saying the plan would fold 55 state forests between the Illawarra and the Victorian border into one reserve of almost 1.2 million hectares and destroy working families who rely on southern NSW's wood production forests. Barnes, a retired regional manager of Southern Forests who ran more than 450,000 hectares of state forest until 2011, supplying hardwood sawlogs to mills from Nowra to Eden, called the north coast koala park the start of his loss of faith in Labor and this proposal its end, arguing that backing it would effectively destroy Labor votes. Separately, a delegation of South Coast businesses brought an open letter signed by more than 120 firms to NSW Parliament on Wednesday for Butler to receive on behalf of the state government. They want the park funded like the Great Koala National Park, with supporters saying ending harvesting inside it could raise more than A$500 million under the Improved Native Forest Management carbon method. Timber NSW chief executive Maree McCaskill told Bega MP Michael Holland she was surprised Labor would trade timber jobs for votes from a small but vocal green movement so close to next March's election. South East Timber Association secretary Peter Rutherford warned that winding down native forestry would strip NSW of bulldozers and skilled harvesting contractors and Forestry Corporation operators, shifting more burden onto Rural Fire Service volunteers.

The American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC) brought three pieces from its KEEP collection to the partner expo floor of the Australian Architecture Conference in Brisbane, where more than 1,200 delegates gathered. All three were designed by Australian practices and made in Australia from American red oak, cherry and maple. Kennedy Nolan's David Console is a cherry piece shaped like a creature, with a different finish on head, tail and flank and a red-and-pink stained interior. Lineburg Wang's Pedal Lamp looks like a solid block of cherry until a foot pedal opens its head and switches on a hidden light. Richards Stanisich's Lamella Chair, made with film and theatre technician Meg Ashforth, uses hundreds of hand-stitched maple shingles partly inspired by Japanese armour; it won furniture and joinery at the 27th Australian Timber Design Awards nine days before the event. Roderick Wiles, AHEC regional director for Africa, the Middle East, India and Oceania, said the week let the council bring the forest, the furniture makers and architects into one conversation. Canadian-British architect Alison Brooks gave a keynote on provenance.

Hanoi Vice Chairman Bui Duy Cuong chaired a meeting on 11 November to review progress on demarcating forest boundaries, installing boundary markers and transferring agricultural and forestry farm land to local management. The municipal Department of Agriculture and Environment reported that an inter-agency team worked with 25 communes and wards holding forestry land to collect legal documents and update forest status maps. Twenty-one of the 25 have submitted maps for verification, covering 29,108.62 hectares of forest and forestry land, while Kim Anh, Trung Gia, Noi Bai and Ba Vi have not finished mapping under the new administrative boundaries. Of 6,150 approved boundary markers, 2,385, or about 39 per cent, have been installed, with 722 more planned; 3,043 cannot proceed because of overlaps and other issues. The land transfer covers 10,973.63 hectares, including 8,563.41 hectares from agricultural and forestry farms and 2,410.22 hectares from forests, stations and research facilities. Authorities propose transferring 7,367.51 hectares to communes and wards, but progress has fallen short of expectations. Cuong said the department and the inter-agency team had not guided and urged local units closely enough, and required both tasks to be completed in November 2026.

Brazilian Senator Teresa Leitão (PT-Pernambuco), the government's leader in the Senate, cited environmental measures taken under President Lula during a speech on Wednesday, November 11, as COP 31 was under way in Turkey. She said deforestation in the Amazon fell 41.8% in 2026, the lowest level since records began in 1988, while the Cerrado saw a 23.8% reduction, and that these results came alongside growth in Brazilian agribusiness exports. She also pointed to the resumption and strengthening of the Amazon Fund, expanded conservation areas and Indigenous lands, and intensified environmental enforcement. Leitão called for international commitments to be turned into concrete action with financing, targets and results, citing the 2024-2035 Climate Plan, which targets a 59% to 67% cut in net greenhouse gas emissions versus 2005, and Brazil's greenhouse gas emissions trading system. She linked environmental protection to social justice, democracy and quality of life for future generations.

The Mayor's Office of Cali, Colombia, through its Secretariat of Social Housing and Habitat, announced in-person registration sessions for a district housing subsidy, granted as an in-kind transfer of property rights, aimed at families in the Felidia and El Saladito districts. The initiative seeks to formalize ownership of district-owned land occupied by eligible families, giving them legal security over the plots they live on. Secretariat head María del Mar Mozo Muriel said outreach and pre-registration sessions had already been held in both districts, where technical teams explained the subsidy's scope, requirements and conditions. The call is not open to all residents of the two districts, but only to those occupying district-owned plots inside areas withdrawn from the Los Farallones forest reserve. Living in either district does not guarantee eligibility; the plot's location and compliance with technical and legal conditions will determine whether a case proceeds. Registration is in person on November 11 and 12 from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m., and on November 13 from 1 to 4 p.m. and 9 a.m. to noon. Registering does not mean the subsidy is automatically granted, as each case must pass verification.

During Peru's 2026 National Forest Week, the forestry and wildlife resources oversight agency (Osinfor) awarded certificates of compliance to 14 forest users in the Ucayali and Loreto regions, recognising responsible resource management and fulfilment of obligations observed during inspections. In Ucayali, 10 certificates went to nine users: native communities Monte Sion de Sheshea, Callería and Dos de Mayo, companies Forestal Gil S.R.L. and Forestal Pucallpa Export S.R.L., and Raúl Orneta Maldonado in Coronel Portillo province, plus native communities Centro Chocote, Centro Pucani, Sabaluyo Mamoriari and Tahuanty in Atalaya province. Loreto received four certificates for native communities San José de Parinari, Mariscal Castilla and Copal Urco, and the peasant community San Roque 7 de Junio. Osinfor head Williams Arellano Olano said the certificates back users who passed forest oversight and help them access markets demanding deforestation-free products. Training also covered timber traceability and obligations of permit holders.

Bolivia seeks to join Brazil-led forest fund to protect the Amazon El Potosí

The Climate and Society Institute (iCS) will launch a guide on the Tropical Forests Forever Fund (TFFF) during COP31, hosted by Turkey, aimed at Indigenous peoples and local communities, with Portuguese and English versions. The guide seeks to broaden understanding of the fund, since developing countries must pass at least 20% of payments received for forest preservation to traditional populations. The resources are meant to strengthen communities' autonomy to define their own development paths, which requires representative governance mechanisms and knowledge of payment access procedures. An iCS official said the booklet brings a complex financial mechanism closer to territorial realities and that information must arrive before rules are set so communities can influence decisions. It will be available free digitally and distributed in print to organizations and networks. The document explains two transfer modalities: through a national structure, where countries receive 100% of TFFF payments and transfer at least 20% to an account created by a National Steering Committee including Indigenous and traditional community representatives; or through a Global Executing Agency, which channels the 20% to specific accounts in each country. President Lula announced on Wednesday that the TFFF has mobilized US$7.8 billion from international partners, with a goal of US$10 billion by the end of 2026 for initial capitalization. Contributions such as Norway's are conditional on reaching the target and may be withdrawn; Canada is expected to announce a contribution at COP31. The fund works on an investment logic rather than relying solely on donations or individual projects: resources are invested in diversified fixed-income portfolios in emerging countries paying higher interest, and surplus profits go to tropical forest countries that prove reduced or maintained deforestation, with indicative values of US$4 per preserved hectare per year. Overall, the mechanism aims to mobilize US$125 billion.

Brazil rose six places in the 2026 Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI), reaching 21st and ranking ahead of countries such as Germany and Switzerland. The improvement is attributed to reduced deforestation in the Amazon and Cerrado and to a larger share of renewables in Brazil's energy mix; the report also recognized climate policy advances under President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's government. The CCPI compares the environmental performance of 64 countries and the European Union, which together account for more than 90% of global greenhouse gas emissions, assessing four areas: emissions, renewable energy, energy consumption and climate policy. Denmark again placed fourth, holding that position for the sixth consecutive year; the top three spots remain empty to show that no nation has achieved sufficient results across all areas. Over the past five years Denmark cut greenhouse gas emissions by more than 25%, targets a 70% reduction by 2030 from 1990 levels, and is cited for legislation controlling nitrogen and agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. Despite the advance, Brazil's performance remains classified as intermediate: it received a low rating on greenhouse gas emissions, medium ratings on renewables and energy efficiency, and a high score on climate policy. A key positive factor cited by experts was the drop in emissions associated with deforestation; the report says Brazil recorded in 2024 its largest fall in gross greenhouse gas emissions since 2009, with net emissions down 22% from the previous year. The document recognizes results in environmental preservation and clean energy expansion but raises caveats about continued investment and dependence on fossil fuels.

The government of Argentina's Santa Fe province presented a free digital platform, Santa Fe Produce Sustentable, to representatives of farming and cooperative organizations, offering an alternative to the private Visec registry by certifying that agricultural products come from deforestation-free rural establishments. Production Development Minister Gustavo Puccini led the meeting. The province argues that the European Union's EUDR regulation (2023/1115) legally obliges importers to require this traceability, making state involvement necessary to ensure clear rules and protect producer competitiveness. The platform currently registers 330 establishments covering 403,021 productive hectares with guaranteed deforestation-free traceability. Puccini said 99.6% of Santa Fe's territory produces without deforestation, a condition he said no other province can certify with the same level of official backing. Agriculture Secretary Ignacio Mántaras said the tool aims to strengthen Santa Fe production in markets while the state safeguards data confidentiality; Carsfe head Berardo Martín Vignatti stressed the importance of such meetings amid national debate over European requirements.

The Presidente Costa e Silva State Center for Professional Forestry Education in Irati, in south-central Paraná, Brazil, generated nearly 1 million reais in gross revenue in 2026 from wood and seedling production and sales. Wood sales accounted for almost 800,000 reais, while seedlings brought in about 200,000 reais. All proceeds are reinvested through the school cooperative in infrastructure, equipment and technology. Around 300 students in technical training follow the forest production cycle and resource management, with activities including soil analysis, seedling production, planting, management, thinning, semi-mechanized harvesting and sales. The school is one of two among the state's 31 agricultural schools focused on forestry; the other, in Ortigueira, emphasizes mechanized operations and has no own cultivation areas. Founded in 1973, the institution covers 173 hectares, 58 of which grow pine, yerba mate, araucaria and eucalyptus, while 115 hectares hold school buildings, roads, native forest and preservation areas. Wood goes to plywood, sawmill, MDF and energy-fuel companies, with cycles of seven to 30 years. The nursery can produce 500,000 seedlings a year, about half araucaria and bracatinga.

Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said the country will present a national plan at COP31 in Antalya, Turkey, to halt and reverse deforestation and forest degradation by 2030. The statement was read by Environment and Climate Change Minister João Paulo Capobianco at the Leaders' Summit on Forests after Lula, whose voice was hoarse, asked him to deliver the text. The document, called the National Roadmap, was approved by the federal government on November 6 at a meeting of the Interministerial Committee on Climate Change in Brasília. It sets four main fronts: conservation and sustainable use of forests, forest restoration, combating illegal deforestation and fires, and reducing legally authorized vegetation removal with support from economic instruments. It also foresees stronger financing, technical assistance, governance and incentives for innovation and technology. According to the government, the aim is to speed up implementation of existing environmental policies. Data from the National Institute for Space Research cited by the Environment Ministry show annual deforestation fell 71.2% in the Legal Amazon and 48.4% in the Cerrado between 2022 and 2026. The speech also said Brazil added 2.5 million hectares of protected areas and homologated 20 indigenous lands since 2023, and plans to restore degraded Amazon areas, turning the "Arc of Destruction" into an "Arc of Restoration."

Brazil's National Monetary Council Resolution 5.303/2026 requires rural credit contracts to include a new environmental check starting January 4, 2027. Financial institutions must consult official satellite monitoring databases to identify native vegetation clearing after July 31, 2019. The requirement begins with properties larger than 15 fiscal modules and will gradually extend to smaller ones. For agrarian reform settlements and collectively used traditional community lands, when the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR) covers the collective perimeter, the rule starts January 3, 2028. Queries rely on information from the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, based on the BiomasBR program and the PRODES satellite monitoring project of the National Institute for Space Research. Lawyer Tatiany Teixeira, an environmental and agrarian law specialist and chair of the OAB-DF agribusiness law commission, said producers' main concern is the time needed to resolve pending issues with environmental agencies, warning that leaving them to the last minute can delay access to production financing. The report notes that a possible deforested area in satellite images does not by itself prove an environmental violation or automatically block financing; the ministry says overlap between PRODES deforestation polygons and CAR property boundaries is not in itself a presumption of illegality. Producers may present documents such as vegetation clearing authorization or environmental regularization instruments.

The government of Argentina's Santa Fe province presented "Santa Fe Produce Sustentable," a free digital platform that lets agricultural producers certify that their products come from deforestation-free farms. The initiative aims to help producers meet environmental requirements of foreign markets and offers a provincial alternative amid debate over the implementation of VISEC Carne. Production Development Minister Gustavo Puccini led a meeting with rural associations, cooperatives and meat-chain representatives, saying the goal is to help producers comply with new requirements quickly and at no cost. According to provincial data, the platform already has 330 registered establishments covering 403,021 productive hectares, supporting traceability and deforestation-free certification. Puccini said the tool is unique in the country and that 99.6% of Santa Fe's territory produces without deforestation, a condition no other province can certify with the same level of official backing. Agriculture Secretary Ignacio Mántaras stressed the state's role in developing the system and safeguarding information, saying the state consolidates data and guarantees confidentiality and strategic use. The report notes that European Union Regulation 2023/1115 sets due diligence requirements for covered products, making registration in traceability systems and origin information commercially relevant, while questions remain over costs, data management and the scope of requirements. CRA had reported price discounts for cattle not registered in VISEC, and Mauricio Tschieder, livestock manager at Cooperativa Guillermo Lehmann, confirmed to AIRE Agro differences of 300 to 500 pesos per kilo in transactions with slaughterhouses.

The Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) approved a new emissions value for producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from palm oil, making Colombian palm oil an eligible feedstock. The decision followed about two years of technical and diplomatic work led by the National Federation of Palm Oil Growers (Fedepalma), with support from Colombia's civil aviation authority. According to preliminary technical estimates in Colombia's management report, SAF made from domestic palm oil could cut greenhouse gas emissions by up to 55% over its life cycle, depending on production, processing and supply chain conditions. Colombia's submission to ICAO drew on a World Bank study documenting the country's zero-deforestation progress and low-emission practices. The recognition also covers co-processing renewable feedstocks in oil refineries, where Ecopetrol has the technology. Fedepalma estimates that at least two SAF plants could draw more than US$4.5 billion in value-chain investment and create over 150,000 direct and indirect jobs, though these figures require feasibility studies.

The Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) approved a new emissions value for Colombian palm oil used to make sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), placing the domestic feedstock on the list of eligible raw materials for the international SAF industry. The decision came after about two years of technical and diplomatic work led by the National Federation of Palm Oil Growers (Fedepalma), with support from Colombia's civil aviation authority. Preliminary estimates indicate that SAF made from domestic palm oil could reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 55% over its life cycle, depending on production, processing and supply chain conditions. Colombia's submission to ICAO was based on a World Bank study documenting the sector's zero-deforestation progress and low-emission practices. Fedepalma executive president Nicolás Pérez Marulanda said the recognition opens opportunities for the sector to join a strategic industry, attract investment and create rural jobs. The decision also covers co-processing renewable feedstocks in refineries, a capability Ecopetrol has, which could advance domestic SAF output in the short term.

The Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) approved adding palm oil to the list of feedstocks for producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in Colombia. The National Federation of Palm Oil Growers (Fedepalma) announced the decision, citing nearly two years of technical work with the country's civil aviation authority. The approval was based on a report Colombia submitted to the organization outlining the crop's sustainability conditions. Studies presented indicate fuel made from this oil could cut greenhouse gas emissions by up to 55%, with production meeting zero-deforestation and low-emission farming criteria, according to a World Bank study. Fedepalma executive president Nicolás Pérez said the move opens space in a strategic industry, can attract foreign capital, boost agro-industrial development and create rural jobs. The measure also covers co-processing renewable feedstocks in oil refineries, and Ecopetrol reportedly has technology to process inputs such as palm oil. Initial industry estimates suggest Colombia could develop at least two SAF plants with over US$4.5 billion in value-chain investment and more than 150,000 direct and indirect jobs, subject to feasibility studies, financial structuring and market assessments.

After the first round of Brazil's 2026 presidential election in October, burned area rose sharply in the Amazon. According to figures cited by Greenpeace and highlighted by researcher Luiz Marques in a November 9 article for Outras Palavras, burned area in Pará increased 503% and in Amazonas 1,305% compared with the same period of 2025. The article links the escalation to pressure on the forest and to expansion of economic activities tied to land occupation, while noting that comparing the two periods does not by itself prove the election caused the increase. Environment Minister João Paulo Capobianco said climate change has favored land-grabbing strategies that use fires to degrade protected areas and later seek regularization. Citing the 2025 Cities Sustainable Development Index, the article says the ten municipalities with the largest cattle herds scored low or very low on the overall UN Sustainable Development Goals assessment: six very low and four low. Santana do Araguaia, in Pará, ranked last among 5,570 municipalities. Of the 50 municipalities that lost the most native vegetation between 2008 and 2022, 47 had average labor income below the national level—R$2,092 versus R$2,850 in 2022. Brazil emitted 2.145 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent in 2024, with land-use change at 42.2% and agriculture at 29.2%.

Honduras' Council of State Secretaries approved an executive decree placing the Río Plátano Man and Biosphere Reserve under an environmental emergency for 36 months to curb the deterioration of one of the country's main natural heritage sites. The measure covers 2027–2029 and involves 1.5 billion lempiras (about US$57.7 million), distributed among the Secretariat of Natural Resources and Environment (Serna), the Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena) and the Forest Conservation Institute (ICF). The three institutions will coordinate to address the reserve's main threats: logging and deforestation, expansion of cattle ranching and other illegal activities. The decision was approved during a virtual Council of Ministers meeting led by President Nasry Asfura and Presidency Minister Juan Carlos García, which also addressed food security and public-private investment mechanisms. Presidency legal adviser Roberto Zacapa said the initiative seeks to establish institutional responsibilities and guarantee resources for sustained environmental protection, aiming to recover a natural heritage of international ecological importance. The reserve holds tropical ecosystems, a wide variety of species and communities with historical ties to the territory. Information released after the meeting did not detail how much each institution will receive, annual disbursement schedules or specific indicators to measure results.

The European Union's anti-deforestation rule takes effect on 30 December 2026, and Uruguay sees it as a competitive opening. According to the National Customs Directorate, Uruguayan beef exports averaged US$8,803 per tonne in October, 6% more than a year earlier. In the first ten months, 30,259 tonnes worth US$430 million went to the EU, which paid an average of US$14,255 per tonne in 2026, rising from US$13,048 in January to US$15,085 in October. INAC president Gastón Scayola said 99.9% of national production can be certified deforestation-free, with only about 600 hectares failing to qualify, and that current quota-481 chilled shipments to the EU all carry certificates. A July report by SENCI, created under the presidency by Yamandú Orsi, said individual cattle traceability on non-deforested natural grassland makes Uruguay a regional first mover, while Brazil's absence, political turbulence in Paraguay and Argentina's rushed traceability efforts create room for differentiation.

The 12th ordinary session of the COMIFAC Council of Ministers, held in Yaoundé, Cameroon, from 3 to 5 November 2026, confirmed the transfer of the rotating presidency from Burundi to Cameroon through decision No. 007/COMIFAC/CM12/2026. Cameroon will hold the chair for 2026-2028. The Council thanked Burundi for maintaining institutional continuity despite financial constraints and reviewed achievements including restored trust among member states and technical and financial partners, participation in climate and biodiversity COPs, and preparation of the third Central African heads of state summit. Outgoing chair Calinie Mbarushimana, Burundi's environment, agriculture and livestock minister, urged members to increase funding for COMIFAC. Incoming chair Jules Doret Ndongo, Cameroon's forestry and wildlife minister, is tasked with getting members to pay equal contributions and clear arrears, and with organizing the third heads of state summit, the previous one having been held in Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo, in 2005.

Brazil rises in climate protection ranking. In the Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI), which compares the emissions-reduction efforts of 64 countries and the EU, Brazil climbed to 21st place, up from 27th in 2025. The index is compiled by Germanwatch, the NewClimate Institute and the Climate Action Network, draws on data from the previous two years, and was released on November 11 during the COP31 climate conference in Antalya, Turkey. The report notes that Brazil's total greenhouse gas emissions in 2024 fell by the largest margin since 2009, down 16.7% from 2023, mainly due to reduced deforestation in the Amazon and the Cerrado. Emissions fell a further 6% in 2025 compared with 2024, but this was not counted in this year's index. The report also mentions that Amazon deforestation alerts fell 36% from August 2025 to July 2026, the lowest level in the history of the Deter real-time monitoring system. The improvement is linked to the federal government's Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Deforestation in the Legal Amazon and to the expansion of renewable energy including wind, solar, hydropower and biomass, with clean energy accounting for nearly 50% of Brazil's energy and 89% of its electricity. However, Brazil is still criticized over plans to increase oil and gas production, with Petrobras exploring for new fields in the Amazon River mouth basin, and the report says Brazil has no plan to phase out fossil fuels and their subsidies. Climate Observatory said that controlling deforestation alone will become increasingly insufficient to meet climate goals and that the energy and agriculture sectors need to do more; agriculture accounted for 29% of emissions last year.

Spain's new olive oil campaign has begun with strong production and shipment rates. Provisional October market data from the Food Information and Control Agency (AICA) put cumulative early-harvest oil output at 70,530 tonnes, up from 40,000 tonnes in the same period a year earlier. Shipments excluding imports reached 116,926 tonnes, while total stocks stood at 306,967 tonnes: 150,931 tonnes at mills, 154,473 tonnes at packers and 1,563 tonnes held by the Olive Oil Communal Heritage body. Luis Carlos Valero, manager and spokesman of ASAJA-Jaén, said higher green oil output, together with the 12% withdrawal mechanism starting on 15 November, should activate the market and feed through to prices. He added that the olive harvest is fully under way but has paused in recent days because of rain.

Spain's Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food estimates olive oil production for the 2026/2027 season at 1,602,596 tonnes, 23% more than the previous campaign and the fourth-largest harvest on record. Opening stocks stand at 357,040 tonnes, up 23.3% year on year. To keep abundant supply from pushing down prices and farm incomes, the government issued a resolution on 6 November requiring olive mills to hold back 12% of their declared production from November onward, in their own or third-party facilities. Output from October and earlier months is excluded, and the withheld oil must stay off the market until 30 September 2027. The measure covers an estimated 188,000 tonnes for the campaign, and each mill can choose which grade of oil to store. The ministry says managing supply aims to protect growers' profitability and give the market greater stability. According to World Bank WITS data, Spain supplied about 88% of the virgin olive oil volume Mexico imported in 2025, so the decision may affect Mexican buyers, though final prices also depend on exchange rates, contracts and import costs.

The Morowali district government in Central Sulawesi has taken a firm stance against clearing and claiming forest land without legal grounds. District Secretary Yusman Mahbub said on 6 November 2026, at an event on forest area resolution mechanisms with PT Vale Indonesia, that the administration does not reject strategic investment but requires a balance between investor interests, residents' rights and state authority, and that forest land cannot be treated as private property in disregard of spatial plans and forestry rules. To close gaps for illegal occupation, the government, the Central Sulawesi forestry office and permit holders set a cut-off date of 7 September 2026. It applies strictly, including to the 1,878.48-hectare Block-3 Bahodopi forest-use approval area, based on September 2026 aerial imagery and field data under Integrated Team decision No. 500.4.6.6/11/DISHUT. Land cleared after that date will not be recognised and is deemed a forestry violation. Verified residents who farmed legally before the cut-off may receive crop compensation, replanting or business capital support and sustainable livelihood programmes under a regent's decree, rather than through prohibited sales of forest land. The tighter oversight model is to be extended to industrial and mining areas across Morowali.

Indonesia's Ministry of Forestry cleared 88 hectares of illegal oil palm plantations inside the Lamandau Wildlife Reserve in Central Kalimantan, felling 11,180 palm trees as part of efforts to restore the conservation area's function. The operation involved the military, police, prosecutors, local government, reserve managers and local communities. Forty-three parties that had occupied and used the area illegally agreed to stop their activities voluntarily, and 28 work huts were dismantled by their users. Dwi Januanto Nugroho, director general of forestry law enforcement, praised the cooperative stance of the growers and the support of communities and customary leaders, while stressing that continued monitoring is needed to prevent the reserve from being reoccupied. The operation followed up on a forest fire case in the reserve, in which forestry investigators questioned 43 illegal growers. Authorities also used a persuasive approach, involving a Dayak customary leader to build awareness, and said halting the plantations was necessary to prevent further damage to the area's peat ecosystem.

In Vietnam's Lao Cai province, where many forestry plantations wait decades to recover investment, the Thanh Lam Agriculture and Forestry Cooperative in Cam Nhan commune has taken a different route: processing sandalwood leaves into tea and generating billions of dong in annual revenue. Led by director Pham Quang Dao, the cooperative began looking into sandalwood in 2022 and in early 2023 planted a one-hectare trial in Lang Lanh village, with about 600 sandalwood trees intercropped with 300 native gu huong trees. Seedlings came from seeds imported from India and supplied by Vietnam Sandalwood Group, which also transferred care techniques; the area later expanded to six or seven hectares. Because sandalwood needs pruning from the eighth month after planting, producing large amounts of leaves, the cooperative developed sandalwood leaf tea. After early batches failed due to humidity and drying temperature errors, it mastered processing and launched two products, a whole-bud tea meeting a "two leaves, one bud" standard and a milled tea bag, all sold in Hanoi. The approach creates cash flow before timber harvest and supports local jobs and income.

Residents in Kotamobagu, North Sulawesi, are pressing the provincial forestry office to question a local legislator identified by the initial A over an alleged sale of land inside the Mobungayom limited production forest (HPT). The demand follows testimony from Wien Lomamay, head of Matali Baru village, who acknowledged issuing a land certificate for more than 100 hectares at the Batu Kilat site to a buyer known as Glen at Rp10 million per hectare, saying he did not know the buyer. The forestry office's KPH Unit II carried out evidence gathering, boundary delineation and geotagging on 3 November and confirmed the plot lies within the HPT area. Villagers argue the legislator should be examined alongside the village head, saying the transaction could not have occurred without facilitation. Sales inside HPT areas are legally void and can be prosecuted under the 1999 Forestry Law and the 2023 Job Creation Law, with penalties of up to 10 years in prison and fines of up to Rp7.5 billion. The legislator had not responded at the time of publication.

A study published in the European Journal of Forest Research addresses the lack of large-scale productivity data that has limited the inclusion of wild edible mushrooms in forest resource assessments and planning. The researchers developed a spatially explicit, expert-based framework to estimate and map the potential harvestable productivity of socioeconomically important edible mushroom groups under favourable fruiting conditions. The approach combines expert knowledge elicitation, habitat suitability analysis and spatial mapping, drawing on Spanish forest inventory data. Wild edible mushrooms are non-wood forest products with ecological, cultural and economic value, and the framework offers a method for quantifying this output at regional scale to support forest management and planning.

On November 9, 2026, China's Ministry of Emergency Management and the Chongqing municipal government jointly held a major forest fire response drill, named "Emergency Mission 2026," in Fengjie County. The exercise targeted practical difficulties in fighting fires in southwestern high-mountain forests, including limited all-area monitoring, difficult deployment of forces and constrained water supply. It simulated a severe forest fire in the karst and vertically zoned mountain terrain of Xinglong Township, Fengjie County. The drill covered the full fire response process in five stages: frontline prevention, initial local response, joint city-county response, national reinforcement and district fire-site monitoring, with 30 subjects including multi-aircraft coordinated firefighting and emergency communications networking. For the forestry and forest products sector, the exercise addresses fire monitoring, cross-regional dispatch and water supply in mountain forests, highlighting emergency preparedness for protecting forest resources and forest-based production.

Myplant & Garden, Italy's professional trade fair for the green sector, is launching the country's first trade fair initiative to unite the entire forestry ecosystem, from sustainable forest management and urban forestry to agroforestry. The new multidisciplinary platform, called Sistema Foresta (Forest System), is designed to connect expertise, businesses and supply chains and to develop management, production and economic opportunities linked to Italy's trees and forests. Organisers say almost all organisations and institutions representing the Italian forestry sector have endorsed the initiative. Forests cover about one third of Italy, more than 11 million hectares, yet only 18–20% have an active or valid management plan and around 10% are certified as sustainably managed. In 2025, the horticulture and nursery sector's production value reached €3.52 billion, up 8.1% year on year and a record high, while nearly 3.7 million trees were planted across more than 5,300 hectares, 17% more than in 2024.

The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and the US Forest Service have formed a US$2.8 million partnership to help Pacific Island landowners protect forests and prepare for wildfire, drought and severe storms. The Pacific Forest Resilience Program will fund five new Forest Service-affiliated junior extension agents through UH Mānoa's College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resilience (CTAHR). The positions will serve American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia and the Republic of Palau. Applications open November 9, 2026, with agents expected to begin work in their respective locations by May 2027. Funded by the Forest Service and delivered through CTAHR, the program will support implementation of the participating jurisdictions' Forest Action Plans. Program lead Ashley McGuigan said many Pacific Islands face shared challenges, from wildfires and drought to severe storms, and that a regional approach brings forestry programs, agencies and communities together to learn from one another and share knowledge and resources. The program will develop workshops, knowledge-sharing events and educational resources supporting practices such as agroforestry, reforestation and pest management.

Planning approval has been granted by the Victorian Government for a 15-storey mass-timber commercial office building at 57–71 Stephenson Street in Cremorne, Melbourne, which is expected to become Australia's tallest mass-timber office building once completed. The project is being developed by Endor Development, with development management by Vettex and design by Edition Office. The site covers about 1,616 square metres and will deliver roughly 21,671 square metres of gross floor area, including 13,145 square metres of net lettable office space, plus ground-floor retail and food and beverage space and shared facilities. Above ground, cross-laminated timber floor panels will be supported by glue-laminated timber columns and structural elements, replacing much of the steel and concrete typical of buildings this size; low-carbon concrete is largely limited to the basement and ground floor. A performance-based fire engineering solution with comprehensive sprinklers addresses code limits on exposed structural timber above eight storeys.

Salvage use of pine from the January bushfires near Walwa is winding down as Hyne's Jingellic Road mill stops processing the timber. The fire, which broke out west of Walwa on 5 January, burned more than 100,000 hectares before being fully contained in February, including about 10,500 hectares—nearly 80%—of HVP pine plantations at Shelley south of Walwa. Assessments found roughly half of the damaged plantation was old enough to salvage, much of it high-quality sawlog delivered from February to Hyne Timber's Tumbarumba sawmill. A Hyne spokesperson said salvaged logs for structural framing manufacturing ended in September, with some smaller salvage logs still being processed for about another month for customers such as pallet manufacturers; no further salvage from the Victorian fires will follow. Salvaged logs will still pass through the region en route to other processors, including mills and Visy in Tumut.

Brisbane-based agribusiness fund manager AAM Investment Group is setting up a business to buy Australian family-run softwood sawmills whose owners are planning for succession, raising A$150 million for the venture. The Australian Financial Review reported that AAM hired corporate adviser Tiger & Bear to raise the funds, with about A$100 million in equity and the rest in debt. Two AAM-owned mills would anchor the new business: the Bathurst mill in central-west New South Wales and the Suttontown mill on the edge of Mount Gambier in South Australia. The Bathurst mill sits in a Sustainable Softwood Trust that AAM says can process 92,000 cubic metres of sawlogs a year. Suttontown came to AAM in 2021, when the McDonnell family sold the mill nearly 80 years after founding NF McDonnell & Sons; it employed 125 people and processed just over 400,000 tonnes of softwood logs a year. The mills turn plantation pine into landscaping, fencing and DIY products for major retailers, plus softwood for pallets and packaging used in logistics. AAM said the new business will focus on sustainable softwood rather than hardwood and native forest timber.

The Kyogle timber mill on Summerland Way in New South Wales closed last week, leaving only a skeleton crew to decommission the site. At its peak the facility employed more than 60 people. Nationals Member for Page Kevin Hogan said Australia is importing more timber from France and other countries while local mills are being locked down. Nationals Candidate for Lismore Dylan Butcher said the mill was one of Kyogle's biggest private employers when running at full capacity, and that the closure affects not only workers but also the cafe they buy lunch from, the mechanic who services their vehicles, and the clubs and schools their children attend. He said these are skilled, specialised jobs, and that retraining money is not a realistic answer, with most workers likely to leave Kyogle to stay in their trade. Hogan said closed mills are very difficult to bring back, risking the loss of local jobs, infrastructure and specialised skills built up over generations. Timber has been part of the Kyogle community for more than a century.

About 100 employees of Sexton Lumber have been laid off after a fire shut down the Bloomfield sawmill in Newfoundland and Labrador nearly two weeks ago, according to owner Kevin Sexton. The Newfoundland and Labrador Forestry Industry Association announced Monday that the province's largest sawmill is closed until further notice. Sexton said it is a poor time for layoffs and that there is nothing the company can do at the moment; he hopes repairs will be completed in about three weeks. The fire broke out on Oct. 29 in the facility's boiler room while wood was drying. A worker on his nightly routine noticed smoke coming from exhaust fans, and by the time the fire department and company power engineers gained access, the building was engulfed. The fuel barn storing mill byproducts then caught fire, with roughly seven to eight tractor-trailer loads of planer shavings exploding. The association said one employee was injured while helping firefighters reach the scene and is recovering. An investigation is underway. Sexton said normal operations may not resume until the end of the year. Association executive director Bill Dawson said the fire caused considerable damage and the temporary closure has a huge impact, since the sector is highly integrated and effects extend beyond forestry into agriculture.

The U.S. Lumber Coalition said in a November 10 statement from Washington that Canada has announced a C$6.5 billion subsidy package for its forestry industry, bringing new subsidies since August 2025 to more than C$9 billion, on top of billions already identified by the U.S. Department of Commerce for earlier years. Coalition executive director Zoltan van Heyningen said the new round is an attempt to neutralize U.S. antidumping and countervailing duty enforcement on Canadian lumber imports, and said Canadian industry officials describe it as providing a competitive advantage. The coalition said the U.S. forestry sector supports about 1.3 million jobs, that Commerce has found Canadian companies dumping excess lumber while receiving subsidies, and that the U.S. International Trade Commission has found harm to U.S. workers, companies and forestry-dependent communities. It said Canada can produce 27 billion board feet of lumber while consuming 7 billion, leaving up to 17 billion for export, with the United States its only viable volume market.

A study published in BMC Plant Biology evaluated 102 African oil palm accessions collected in Tanzania and Zambia and grown under Indian conditions, finding substantial variation in oil quality traits. Palmitic acid content ranged from 26.33 to 61.64 percent, and iodine value, a measure of unsaturation, spanned 32.13 to 68.14 grams of iodine per 100 grams of oil. Free fatty acid content ranged from 0.77 to 27.60 percent, while carotene levels ranged from 51.89 to 1359.24 milligrams per kilogram. Fresh fruit bunch yield ranged from 23 to 187 kilograms per palm per year and showed minimal association with oil quality traits, with correlation coefficients below 0.10 in absolute value, supporting the hypothesis that quality can be improved independently of yield. Multivariate analyses grouped the accessions into distinct clusters; one stood out for combining higher oleic acid content with improved nutritional indices and yield comparable to the rest of the collection. Canonical discriminant analysis confirmed the grouping with 93.14 percent accuracy. The authors describe the accessions as promising donor lines for breeding programs seeking a healthier fatty acid profile, but caution that they were evaluated in a single environment and require multi-environment validation and genetic analysis before entering crossing programs.

A high-level side event examined how to halt and reverse deforestation and forest degradation by 2030, addressing environmental crime and competing demands for land and biomass. Building on the first Global Stocktake of the Paris Agreement and the COP30 Presidency-led roadmap, participants discussed how regulatory frameworks, environmental enforcement, national policies, economic incentives and international cooperation can reinforce one another. The event explored moving beyond regulatory compliance to tackle the root causes of deforestation, while decoupling bioenergy and agricultural production from deforestation and land-use change. Discussions drew on complementary international cooperation experiences, including a new €12.6 million IKI project launched in Argentina, Colombia, Paraguay and Peru that links EU regulatory compliance with climate resilience, nature conservation, sustainable value chains, ecosystem restoration and social justice. They also covered Germany's engagement against illegal deforestation and environmental crime, and UNEP-led science-policy dialogues on forests and bioenergy, informing debate on policy coherence and cooperation.

Malaysian palm oil futures closed slightly higher on November 10, 2026, recovering from earlier losses as inventory and export data beat expectations. The January contract on Bursa Malaysia Derivatives rose 2 ringgit, or 0.05%, to 4,260 ringgit ($1,052.63) per ton. Prices fell during the session before rebounding as traders digested figures from the Malaysian Palm Oil Board. Malaysia's palm oil stocks hit a record 3.62 million tons in October, above the previous high set in September, as strong production kept building inventories despite an export recovery. Actual stocks were still below analysts' forecast of 3.75 million tons, and exports also exceeded market estimates, providing the main support for futures. Falling global crude oil prices remained bearish, as easing concerns over Middle Eastern supply disruptions and reduced risk of military escalation involving Iran, plus expectations of excess supply, weighed on petroleum. Cheaper oil makes palm oil less competitive as a biodiesel feedstock. Elsewhere, the most-active soybean oil contract on China's Dalian exchange rose 0.14% and palm oil futures gained 0.61%, while Chicago Board of Trade soybean oil fell 0.1%. The ringgit strengthened 0.05% against the dollar, making palm oil slightly costlier for foreign buyers. Record stocks continue to cap gains, with future prices depending on export demand, Malaysian production, crude oil developments and competition from other edible oils.

Sweden and Finland are taking different approaches to implementing the EU Nature Restoration Law. Sweden's government approved its nature restoration plan in early September, two days after the EU deadline. Rural Affairs Minister Peter Kullgren said Sweden had voted against the legislation and that farm and forest businesses must keep operating as the law is implemented; the government says it has not asked more of landowners than its targets require and has used the law's flexibilities wherever possible. In February 2025 Sweden notified the Commission that it could apply the duty across whole regions outside Natura 2000, but will not decide where or how far until its final plan in 2027. Finland has confined the binding duty to existing Natura 2000 sites, leaving restoration on private land voluntary. The two also differ on natural forest: Sweden cut its 2050 restoration target for western taiga to 80 per cent from the standard 90 per cent, while Finland has yet to define which forests count as natural, leaving the question to a government working group. Industry groups in both countries welcomed the plans; the Swedish Forest Industries Federation called its government's version more balanced than the agencies' February proposal and has calculated that taking a further 1.6 million hectares of productive forest out of use would cut raw material supply by 8 million cubic metres.

Siskiyou Economic Development in Yreka, California, won a $500,000 national forestry award from the U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities to help sustain the region's struggling timber industry. It is one of five recipients selected from 76 proposals nationwide under the Endowment's Accelerating Wood Fiber Markets initiative, which supports efforts to sustain the Shasta Cascade region's forest products industry and create demand for small-diameter timber and underused forest resources through new products and commercial uses. The funds will support bringing partners together, assessing the commercial feasibility of processing sites, supporting capital readiness and advancing opportunities in biochar, advanced composites and value-added manufacturing. The project began Nov. 5 with a Timber Roundtable gathering timber industry leaders, state partners and forestry specialists. AJ Brown, director of philanthropy and strategic partnerships at Siskiyou Economic Development, said the downturn in the timber economy has put increased pressure on the mills and businesses that anchor the region's forest products industry, and that the award gives resources to help sustain existing operations and create new demand through value-added wood products and commercially viable uses for forest biomass. Matt Krumenauer, vice president of markets at the Endowment, announced the award during a keynote at the organization's Annual Showcase and said strong forest product markets are essential to keeping working forests productive and economically viable.

State lawmaker Arilson Chiorato of the opposition Workers' Party warned in the Parana state legislature that bill 80/2026 could weaken protection of native vegetation at a time when the state needs flood defenses. Filed in February, the bill would replace Parana's 1995 forest law and set rules on areas to be preserved on rural properties, restoration of native vegetation and when it may be cleared. One contested point is article 14, which lists exceptions to the obligation to set aside a legal reserve, including urban waste management services and areas bought or expropriated to build or expand airports. Chiorato said the proposal should respect the federal Forest Code and the Atlantic Forest Law, protect threatened species and state who monitors compensation required when clearing is authorized. The opposition plans amendments. He cited storm damage in Apucarana, a tornado in Maringa and destruction in Rio Bonito do Iguacu, and said power utility Copel reported 493,100 consumer units without electricity after Saturday's rain.

Itaú has expanded its investments in Brazil's pulp and paper sector in Paraná with a contribution of 1.2 billion reais to become a partner of Klabin in Bougainville Reflorestadora, a special purpose entity controlled by the paper and pulp company. Bougainville was set up to manage and commercialize Klabin's forestry assets in Paraná and to buy and sell timber for commercial exploitation of pine and eucalyptus assets cultivated by third parties in Paraná, Santa Catarina and São Paulo, covering 37,300 hectares of land in total. It is Itaú's third investment in Klabin ventures; last year the bank injected 600,000 reais into two other special purpose entities responsible for pine and eucalyptus forests in the region. The bank also holds stakes in Araucária Florestal and Jatobá Florestal, subsidiaries of Duratex Florestal, part of Grupo Dexco. Klabin disclosed the deal to the market last Friday but did not name the institutional investor; the Painel S.A. column identified Itaú through a document filed with Brazil's antitrust regulator Cade. Klabin and Itaú declined to comment before publication.

A study released Monday by MapBiomas shows that 6.7 million hectares of native vegetation were lost between 1987 and 2025 in the higher areas of the Upper Paraguay River Basin, where the rivers feeding the Pantanal originate, reducing water availability in the biome and increasing its vulnerability to fires. The basin comprises a plateau of Cerrado and Amazon areas, which concentrates the main springs and the largest rainfall volumes, and a plain whose annual flood pulse depends on water flowing from the plateau. Between 2015 and 2025, the Pantanal's average flooded area was 2.79 million hectares, 53% less than the 5.99 million recorded from 1985 to 1994; 2024 saw the smallest flooded extent since monitoring began. The region has had seven consecutive years of below-average rainfall from 2019 to 2025. Natural areas fell from 85% to 60% of the basin between 1985 and 2025, with pastures growing by 6.9 million hectares and agriculture by 1.49 million; in 2025, 84% of the basin's agricultural area was concentrated on the plateau. A MapBiomas researcher said deforestation leaves soil exposed and reduces water infiltration, affecting aquifer recharge and river flow.

The Presidente Costa e Silva State Forestry Center for Professional Education in Irati, in Brazil's south-central Paraná state, combines forest production with technical training for about 300 students enrolled in a boarding forestry technician course. In 2026 the school has already generated nearly 1 million reais through the annual production of 500,000 seedlings and timber sales. It is one of only two schools among the state network's 31 agricultural colleges offering forestry-oriented training. The other, in Ortigueira, focuses on mechanized forest operations and has no cultivation areas of its own, while the Irati campus covers the full cycle from planting and management to harvesting and timber sales. Founded in 1973, the school covers 173 hectares, of which 58 hectares (34%) grow pine, yerba mate, araucaria and eucalyptus; the remaining 115 hectares hold school buildings, roads, native forest and environmental protection areas. Timber sales reached almost 800,000 reais in gross revenue in 2026, supplying plywood plants, sawmills, MDF panel makers and wood-fired energy companies. Production cycles last seven to 30 years depending on the wood's end use.

A major forest fire is affecting a field between the Punua and Puesto de Juanes settlements, about eight kilometers south of Loreto in Argentina's Santiago del Estero province, near kilometer 1069 of National Route 9. Initial estimates put the burned area at more than 200 hectares. Two crews of Loreto volunteer firefighters, municipal staff and officers from Police Section 27 are working at the site, cooperating both along the highway and in the fire zone. Raúl Carballo, traffic director for the Loreto municipality, said authorities learned of the fire when a hotspot started about eight kilometers from the city; on arrival they found flames advancing from the northern to the southern part of the field. He said the fire was controlled at the time of his remarks, though crews continued working to fully extinguish it. Wind and high temperatures are complicating suppression efforts, and personnel will remain in the area until the fire is definitively controlled. Carballo estimated the affected area could exceed 200 hectares, a preliminary figure. No road closure has been reported nearby, but drivers are advised to proceed with caution.

The Paraná state legislature began debating Bill 80/2026 on November 10, 2026, which would replace the state's 1995 forest code. Submitted by the Ratinho Junior administration, the bill aims to streamline environmental procedures and make it easier for rural landholders to comply, allowing satellite imagery and site inspections as proof of regularity. It would encourage planting of native species with commercial value, such as araucária, palm heart and yerba mate, and provide payments for environmental services to family farmers and traditional communities that keep forests standing. Controversy centers on two points: the bill expands exemptions from the Legal Reserve, the share of a farm that must remain forested, to include sanitary landfills and airport infrastructure, which federal law does not allow; and it loosens compensation rules so that clearing in one area could be offset in a different region. It also permits removal of endangered trees in urban areas when no technical alternative exists. Critics warn the text blurs the line between commercially planted trees and protected natural forest. The government says the changes cut red tape for sustainable timber production. The debate comes as the state faces frequent storms and tornadoes, with forests seen as important for holding rainwater in the soil and limiting landslides and flooding.

Bunge and GDM announced on November 10, 2026 the creation of Enerseed, a joint venture focused on developing and commercializing non-traditional oilseeds for biofuel production. According to the statement, the venture combines GDM's genetics, breeding and gene-editing tools with Bunge's origination, processing and market access. The announcement did not disclose which species will be targeted, the investment amount, each partner's stake, or the countries where initial projects will start. The companies said Enerseed will work on crops that generate revenue during fallow periods, when land is not used for commercial crops, and that have industrial demand. In Brazil, this corresponds to the second-crop and winter windows, currently occupied by second-season corn, wheat, oats and, on a smaller scale, alternative oilseeds such as crambe, canola and carinata. Julio Garros, Bunge's operations director, said the partners could unlock value for farmers growing low-carbon feedstocks and for customers across the feed, food and fuel industries. The announcement frames diversification on three fronts: agronomic benefits such as soil health, reduced erosion, nitrogen fixation and lower water demand, though no experimental results or indicators were provided for any specific species; economic gains from cultivating idle land without competing with main crops; and possible low-carbon premiums tied to environmental attributes. Bunge is both a potential buyer of these products and now a partner in developing the feedstock. No mention was made of operations in Brazil, though both companies have significant presence there: Bunge has 10 port terminals, more than 50 storage structures and over 100 units in the country, while Uruguay-based GDM says its genetics are present in about 45% of global soybean output, with Brazil as its largest market.

Bunge and Argentine plant genetics firm GDM announced the creation of Enerseed, a joint venture to develop new oilseed crops that could serve as feedstock for low-carbon biofuel production. The value of the venture was not disclosed. According to a joint statement, the initiative will focus on non-traditional species and combine GDM's genetic research and seed breeding work with Bunge's processing and commercialization structure. Initial projects are expected to start in selected markets, with possible expansion to other countries. Enerseed's work will cover seed development, research into genetic traits and the use of gene editing techniques. It also aims to connect seed companies, farmers and buyers of feedstock for renewable fuels. Crops under development include oilseeds that the companies say may require less water, contribute to nitrogen fixation and reduce soil erosion, and could be grown as an alternative during fallow periods. The companies did not specify which oilseeds would be prioritized or give a timeline. Enerseed will use an open licensing model, making its intellectual property available to qualified partners, with seed companies, universities, research institutions and technology developers able to take part in development and commercialization. GDM CEO Ignacio Bartolomé said the partnership will allow the company's genetic research technologies to be applied to new crops.

Bunge and GDM announced a joint venture to develop oilseed crops intended for biofuels. According to the companies, combining their complementary capabilities can also create value for rural producers, who would be able to grow low-carbon raw materials, and for customers in the animal nutrition, food and fuel sectors. The report did not disclose the investment amount, ownership split or timeline for the venture. For the forestry and forest products sector, the announcement signals that agricultural feedstock supply chains are being reshaped around biofuel demand, with oilseed crops running alongside wood-based biomass as low-carbon feedstock, making feedstock competition and downstream fuel purchasing worth watching.

Brazilian President Lula said during COP31 in Antalya, Turkey, that ecological preservation is a political choice for his government. Data from Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (Inpe) show Amazon deforestation fell 71.2% in 2026 compared with the last year of Jair Bolsonaro's administration, while Cerrado deforestation dropped 48.4% over the same period. The figures are among the lowest in Inpe's monitoring series, which began in 1988 for the Amazon and 2001 for the Cerrado. Lula attributed the decline to restored environmental policies that had been abandoned, the reactivation of the stalled Amazon Fund and stronger enforcement agencies. He said Brazil's return to COP shows that environmental preservation and sustainable development can be reconciled, and reaffirmed the goal of zero deforestation by 2030. For the forestry sector, slower deforestation in Brazil's two largest biomes affects forest resource stocks, land use and the stability of sustainable timber supply.

Indonesia's Ministry of Forestry is promoting optimal use of social forestry land through the Food and Energy Agroforestry Facilitation for Social Forestry (FAPE-PS) program, part of support for the government's National Strategic Project, aimed at strengthening food security and raising land productivity. One implementation site is the Hijau Lestari Forest Farmer Group (KTH) in Sukamulya village, Sukamakmur district, Bogor regency, West Java, with facilitation for 10 hectares of agroforestry. A team from the Directorate of Social Forestry Business Development, together with the Bogor Social Forestry Center, completed the first-stage monitoring and evaluation of the 2026 FAPE-PS work there. Activities are currently at the land preparation and planting stage, with planned commodities including hybrid corn and upland rice combined with multi-purpose tree species such as durian, mango, mangosteen and nutmeg. Apri Dwi Sumarah, director of social forestry business development, said FAPE-PS aims to ensure social forestry land is used more productively, and that combining food crops with MPTS should support food security, deliver long-term economic benefits to communities and preserve the ecological function of forest areas. He said success is measured not only by planting but by sustainable management and economic benefits felt by communities, and the ministry will continue mentoring and monitoring to keep activities in line with the activity proposal plan. KTH chairman Encep Saifuddin said members responded positively and hoped the 10 hectares would be a first step toward wider agroforestry. The group currently manages about 196 hectares of social forestry area and was previously under the forestry partnership scheme before transforming into the community forest scheme on special-management forest land on August 23, 2023.

Indonesia's Ministry of Forestry is strengthening cross-institutional collaboration and member capacity through the Scout movement Saka Wanabakti. According to the 2026 Saka Wanabakti census, East Java has 20 active bases, about 24.4 percent of the 82 nationwide, the highest of any province. The province also has 879 active members supported by 84 Pamong mentors and 184 instructors. Nationally, 4,885 senior Scout members were verified. Luckmi Purwandari, head of the Center for the Development of Forest Conservation Generations and secretary-general of Pinsakanas, said at a November 9 coordination meeting in Sidoarjo that East Java has strong foundations and that bases must stay active, mentors and instructors must be strengthened, and more young people should gain learning opportunities. The forum highlighted the need to regenerate mentors and instructors, improve capacity through education and training, update activity materials, and speed up completion of special skill requirements and badges. Perum Perhutani stressed preparing new mentors and instructors, while Bojonegoro raised the need for instructor training. BPDAS Brantas, forest management units, Perum Perhutani, the forestry agency and Ministry of Forestry technical units were urged to support mentoring, institutional strengthening, resources and practice space for four activity fields: Tata Wana, Guna Wana, Bina Wana and Reksa Wana.

A residential complex called Xaman-Ha C.A. is proposed in Bacalar, Quintana Roo, comprising 82 homes in four main towers—Nauyaca, La Pinta, Coralillo and Huolpoch—along with commercial space, recreation areas, a pool, parking and internal roads. Grupo Inmobiliario Cuantico 1,2,3,4 submitted an environmental impact statement (MIA) to Mexico's Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat). The site covers about 47,978 square meters, or nearly 4.8 hectares, across five adjoining parcels northeast of Bacalar's urban area in Zone 3 of the Aarón Merino Fernández ejido, with access from federal highway 307. Roughly 35,983 square meters—about 75% of the total—would involve forest land-use change, while some 11,995 square meters of natural vegetation would be kept under in-situ conservation. Forest land-use change requires a separate federal authorization; the developer filed both the MIA and a technical justification study, and submission does not mean approval. A wastewater treatment plant and a water extraction well are also planned.

At a national conference on forest and grassland fire prevention held in Chengdu, the Sichuan Fire Rescue Mobile Corps demonstrated several air-ground coordinated firefighting methods. In the drill, firefighters carried hoses uphill in relays while multistage pumps pushed water up the slope; reconnaissance drones sent back images of the fire scene, and water-carrying drones hovered to drop fire-extinguishing bombs and water bags and to release water from buckets. Sichuan has 175 counties, cities and districts with forest fire prevention duties, 39 of them Class I high-risk areas, yet forest and grassland fires in the province have fallen from more than 100 a year to single digits in recent years. The corps said Sichuan has built a five-level prevention grid linking province, city, county, township and village, with regular joint assessments and shared risk information. During high-risk periods, commanders, professional teams and equipment are sent in advance to 33 key forest areas for stationed duty and random inspections. Instructor teams have trained people in more than 300 townships in Garze, Aba, Liangshan, Guangyuan and Panzhihua in clearing combustible material, operating equipment, handling initial fires and self-rescue. Drones serve as aerial lookouts and mobile forest fire stations conduct ground patrols. The provincial command headquarters recently revised the emergency plan for forest and grassland fires, clarifying the command system, response levels and force deployment. Ten innovative tactics shown at the meeting, including those used in the 2024 Yajiang March 15 fire and the 2021 Mianning April 20 fire, were tested in real fire scenes.

On the morning of November 9, a comprehensive live-fire forest firefighting drill titled “Guarding the Rainforest—2026” was held in the Limushan area of the Diaoluoshan branch of Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park. The exercise was designed to strengthen prevention through practice and improve cross-departmental capacity to jointly prevent and respond to forest fires. It simulated a fire caused by residents illegally burning fallen branches and leaves, and activated Level IV, III and II emergency responses in sequence according to real operational procedures. Multiple firefighting forces were dispatched in stages, a front-line command post was set up and joint firefighting operations were carried out. The drill covered four sections—early warning and prevention, fire reporting and initial response, local response, and joint response—and more than 40 subjects including forest patrols, drone reconnaissance, air-ground coordinated firefighting, emergency communications, residual fire cleanup and fire cause investigation, using intelligent equipment to test the full fire response process.

China is continuing to build its forest certification standard system and expand certification coverage, with certified forest area nationwide reaching 6.71 million hectares. The China Forest Certification Council (CFCC) scheme conducts conformity assessment across the entire chain of forest management and forest product production and trade under unified national standards, turning sustainable management requirements into quantifiable, auditable and accountable criteria. Saihanba Mechanical Forest Farm certified its full 1.4 million mu of managed area under CFCC forest management certification, while Anji in Zhejiang carried out county-wide certification of its bamboo forests using a joint “association + village committee + households” model. The Muling forest area of Longjiang Forest Industry obtained CFCC non-timber forest product certification for American ginseng, black fungus, bee products and pine nuts, with certified products selling at a market premium of more than 15 percent. Since CFCC and PEFC achieved mutual recognition in 2014, certified products can carry the joint label and enter more than 50 countries, with over 450 processing enterprises using it for international trade.

The Turkmen government newspaper Neutral Turkmenistan published an article titled “Fruitful Academic Exchange,” in which Pirli Kepbanov, director of Turkmenistan’s National Institute of Deserts, Flora and Fauna under the Ministry of Environmental Protection, praised China’s desertification control technology. He shared impressions from a China–Central Asia training workshop on desertification control technology and practice held in Ningxia. The article noted that in June 2025 China established a China–Central Asia desertification control cooperation center under the Belt and Road Initiative, carrying out experience exchange and professional training that meets the needs of arid-zone ecological management in Central Asian countries. Kepbanov said China’s major ecological projects have restored desert vegetation, improved biodiversity and boosted local employment and incomes. Turkmenistan has implemented similar projects, including the “Golden Age” lake and fruit-tree terracing in the Kopet Dag sandy areas, and hopes to draw on China’s mature experience and deepen practical cooperation in forestry and grassland ecology.

To address shortcomings in red pine plantations, including single cultivation objectives, rigid management models and low comprehensive benefits, Northeast Forestry University integrated long-term plot monitoring data from multiple regions to build a multi-objective oriented cultivation system with phased tending and regulation. Using 40 years as the baseline age for red pine, the study established site index tables, stand density control charts and a comprehensive forest quality evaluation model, along with management density tables and technical specifications. The model has three stages: from canopy closure to stemwood formation, weeding, shrub cutting, supplementary planting as needed and retention of naturally regenerated valuable broadleaf seedlings; from years 21 to 40, thinning and selection of target trees; during stemwood cultivation and understory regeneration, continued thinning to reduce density and promote regeneration of Manchurian ash, Manchurian walnut and Amur linden; in the later stage, growth fellings reduce overstory density, with selective cutting of trees reaching target diameter and a conifer-broadleaf ratio adjusted to 1:1, forming an uneven-aged, multi-layered mixed broadleaf-Korean pine forest. Under scientific management, stand volume grows by 3.2 cubic meters per hectare per year and annual carbon sink reaches 3.2 tons. At a 7.8-hectare demonstration plot in Xinxing Forest Farm of Jilin Forest Industry Lushuihe Forestry Co., the forest quality index rose by 0.14, or 31.1%, over the control.

On November 9, the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) took part with multiple types of equipment in the "Emergency Mission 2026" major forest fire suppression drill in Chongqing. The exercise simulated a severe forest fire in a typical karst landscape and was organized around the full fire response process, with five major phases and 30 drill subjects. Participating equipment included AVIC's self-developed AG600 and MA60 firefighting aircraft, the Wing Loong-2 drone, and an aviation emergency rescue command platform derived from the "Wenyao" smart management and control system. Together they formed a three-tier high-, mid- and low-altitude operating model, testing a new aerial firefighting approach that combines high and low platforms and near and distant operations, offering a practical solution for fire suppression in the high-mountain forest areas of southwestern China.

A study published in Ecological Processes examines light use efficiency (LUE) in China's forests, aiming to identify its spatiotemporal dynamics and separate the relative contributions of driving factors. Vegetation productivity is described as a key indicator of the terrestrial carbon cycle, controlled by both biological and abiotic factors and typically modeled through parameters such as carbon uptake rate (LUE) and duration (growing season length). Although recent work suggests gains in vegetation productivity are driven mainly by carbon uptake rate, about 60% of LUE spatiotemporal variation remains unexplained. The study covers LUE, spatiotemporal dynamics, driving factors, random forest methods and forest age. For forestry and forest products, clarifying what drives LUE supports more accurate assessment of forest carbon uptake and productivity change.

SD Guthrie Bhd's industrial development segment and land sales are becoming key earnings drivers, diversifying the group beyond integrated palm oil operations. For the first nine months of financial year 2026, the industrial development division posted a pretax profit of RM770 million, with full-year contributions expected at RM800 million to RM1 billion depending on deal timing. In the third quarter ended September 30, 2026, the group recognised an RM81 million gain from selling 170 acres in Kluang, Johor. Analysts expect momentum to build in the fourth quarter with land sales in Seberang Perai (RM253 million) and Port Dickson (RM89 million), plus RM241.16 million in compensation for a compulsory acquisition by Penang Development Corp. The group also has a roughly 22,000-acre co-development pipeline and is expanding into solar, including a 680MWac hybrid solar and battery project for data centres. Upstream operations are supported by strong crude palm oil prices, projected at RM4,500 to RM5,000 per tonne into 2027. Third-quarter net profit fell 17.3% year-on-year to RM773 million on smaller land sale gains, while core net profit rose 39.4% to RM693 million.

A recent study of more than 21,000 trees in the 50-hectare Wanang Forest Dynamics Plot in northern Papua New Guinea measured mortality before, during and two years after the severe 2015-17 El Niño drought. It found mortality was significantly higher after the drought than before or during it. Hayden Wagia, the lead author and a botanist at the Papua New Guinea University of Technology's School of Forestry, said trees were visibly dying in the post-drought period. During the drought, dry-season rainfall accounted for only 5.2% of the area's total precipitation, compared with 13.1% before and 9.6% afterward. Valley trees had relatively high mortality before and during the drought but recovered quickly, while ridge trees showed the opposite pattern, with mortality rising after the drought and staying elevated. For smaller trees, annual mortality in valleys rose from 7.8% before the drought to 8.81% during it, then fell to 4.91%; on ridges it rose from 4.66% before to 7.07% after. Researchers suggest valleys retain more water, while erosion on ridges may reduce water retention. Outside scientists noted that even limited dry-season rain matters for the forest's water balance, and that forests do not respond to drought in a single uniform way.

Australian family-owned softwood sawmills have a new potential buyer. Brisbane agribusiness fund manager AAM Investment Group has set up a business to acquire mills whose owners are planning succession, and has hired corporate adviser Tiger & Bear to raise A$150 million for it, according to the Australian Financial Review's Street Talk column. AAM has told investors that divestment of multi-generational assets through succession planning is among the forces driving agricultural returns. The new business is based on AAM Timber's Bathurst mill in central-west New South Wales, held in a Sustainable Softwood Trust that AAM says can process 92,000 cubic metres of sawlogs a year, and its Suttontown mill near Mount Gambier in South Australia, sold by the McDonnell family in 2021 after nearly 80 years. At the time the mill employed 125 people and processed just over 400,000 tonnes of softwood logs annually. The mills turn plantation pine into landscaping, fencing and DIY products for major retailers, plus softwood for pallets and packaging. AAM said the new business will consolidate sustainable softwood rather than hardwood and native forest timber.

Finland's government last Thursday approved its draft plan for the European Commission, holding that the EU duty to halt nature decline binds the country only in areas already set aside for conservation, not in the commercial forests supplying its sawmills and pulp mills. Private forest owners will decide whether to help restore 30 per cent of Finland's degraded habitats by 2030. Paula Lehtomäki, chief executive of the Finnish Forest Industries Federation, whose members source 95 per cent of their wood in Finland, said restoration must recognise economic realities and that definitions for commercial forests must be clear to avoid protection by default. The Finnish Sawmills Association welcomed a 70,000-hectare restoration target inside existing protected areas without new protection, but asked how the approach could be voluntary if boreal natural forest definitions stay unclear and mills cannot buy wood there. The Natural Resources Institute Finland estimated annual harvest cuts of 8-15 million cubic metres if restoration reaches commercial forests, versus 2-9 million if confined to listed habitats. The federation puts the plan's cost at €1.2 billion a year to 2050, with the state paying €900 million. The Finnish Association for Nature Conservation called limiting the non-deterioration obligation to Natura 2000 sites contrary to the restoration regulation. A government working group will weigh how natural and near-natural forests should be defined.

Australia's Gottstein Trust held the opening classroom day of its Understanding Forest Science course in Tasmania on Monday, with seven presenters. Course convenor Helen Murray said the state was furthest along in aligning with Australia's reformed federal environment laws, adding a learning dimension to this year's course. The course runs every second year and is capped at 35 places, with an Understanding Wood Science program held in between; the Trust said 175 people had completed its courses over six years as it marked 55 years of forestry education support last December. The first day covered forestry basics, forests, soil and water, Indigenous cultural connections to forests, biosecurity, genetic tree improvement, and softwood and hardwood plantations. Field trips take up a day and a half from Tuesday, visiting pine and eucalypt plantations, farm forests and the state native forest estate.

Canada's federal government last week introduced its 2026-2027 budget, forecasting a C$62.3 billion deficit this year with declining deficits over the five-year outlook. Cariboo-Prince George-Omineca MP Todd Doherty criticized Prime Minister Carney for sharply increasing debt, saying taxpayers ultimately bear the cost. He said the budget does nothing for the thousands of jobs lost in the forestry crisis and has not advanced a softwood lumber agreement. The budget proposes C$6.5 billion in spending and financing over six years starting in 2027-2028 to support forestry, including C$500 million to strengthen fibre supply chains, C$2 billion to help companies upgrade equipment and facilities, and C$4 billion in financing through Export Development Canada for larger industrial projects. Doherty called the money much needed but said the government has not secured a new softwood deal or addressed tariffs, and that major employers are leaving communities in his riding such as Prince George, Quesnel and Williams Lake.

More than 50 hardwood processors on the North Coast of New South Wales are now questioning how much timber they will be able to access, after Pentarch's sawmill at Kyogle closed last week, leaving dozens of workers without jobs, according to a 7NEWS North Coast report this week. Timber NSW president Andrew Hurford said mills want to know what volume is available and for how long in an industry that supports thousands of regional jobs. He said the Great Koala National Park had removed about 40% of supply on the North Coast, where harvesting has stopped across 176,000 hectares of state forest to protect koala habitat. Some mills and dry mills that drew logs from inside its boundary are gradually running out of supply, he said, with Pentarch's Herons Creek green mill on the Mid North Coast having run out of state forest supply by July. Timber NSW chief executive Maree McCaskill warned last year that more than 40% of supply to North Coast hardwood sawmills lay inside the proposed park. Hurford said in October that the harvesting ban was already having a creeping impact on businesses that supply the mills, with supporting engineering firms left with no forward orders. At Kyogle, only a skeleton crew remains to decommission Pentarch's Summerland Way mill after 25 workers faced redundancy when the closure was announced in September. Port Macquarie MP Robert Dwyer told NSW Parliament that Pentarch lost its long-term wood supply agreement, with more than 250 regional jobs at risk. The timber union blames the park, saying wood supply stopped the day the koala park was announced last year.

Norway announced on Monday a donation of about 350 million reais ($63.58 million) to Brazil's Amazon Fund. The Norwegian embassy in Brasilia tied the payment to a record decline in deforestation. Brazil's space research agency, Inpe, reported last month that deforestation in the Amazon fell to its lowest level on record in the 12 months through July. The embassy said the donation was based on these positive results and reinforced the long-term partnership between the two countries. Norwegian Climate and Environment Minister Sigrun Aasland said Brazil's results are impressive and important not just for the country but for the whole world. Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has pledged to reach zero illegal deforestation by 2030. The new pledge adds to some 3.8 billion reais Norway has contributed since the fund's creation in 2008, making it by far the largest donor. Other donors include Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Switzerland, Japan and Ireland. The embassy did not disclose a disbursement timeline or which projects the new money will fund.

Croatian olive growers report a better harvest than last year despite months of intense heat and drought, but producers say high operating costs and a 25 percent value-added tax on milling services are eroding returns as mills process the new crop. Harvest continues in parts of Dalmatia, with generally satisfactory yields and healthy fruit; final production figures await the end of milling. Ante Vulin, who farms about 1,000 trees near Lake Vrana in Pakoštane, said the season is better than last year, when Croatia imported more olive oil than it produced. In Zadar County, 6,450 metric tons of olives yielded 1,906.5 hectoliters of oil, nearly 40 percent less than the previous year. Zadar received 38 millimeters of rain in June and little more in early July, followed by almost no rain until mid-September. The drought delayed pit development and reduced flesh growth, leaving smaller fruit; unirrigated groves at 40 ºC saw shriveling and fruit drop before rains arrived in late September. Irrigated growers, including Vulin, began milling in early October, with early oils showing fruitiness, pungency, balance and high polyphenols. Heat also reduced olive fruit fly pressure.

The Commercial Court of Odesa Oblast last week held state-owned Forests of Ukraine liable for clear-felling 4.5 hectares of pine in Ukraine's Kherson region without an environmental assessment, ordering payment of nearly 2.5 million hryvnias. Prosecutors argued that plots of under one hectare, each with its own felling permit, together exceeded the one-hectare threshold. The land was neither occupied nor encircled and no fighting took place on it, so the wartime exemption for front-line and occupied areas did not apply. In April 2025 inspectors found 541 pine stumps on two plots, 23 from living trees, in a stand classed as protective forest. The company said each plot was separately permitted, the plots did not adjoin, and a criminal case had found no staff wrongdoing. The court nonetheless held it liable as legal successor to the Velykokopanivske forestry and hunting enterprise that did the felling. An appeal is possible later this month.

Spain's Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPA) has published a resolution requiring mills to temporarily withdraw an estimated 188,000 metric tons of olive oil from the market. Mills must hold back 12 percent of oil produced in the 2026/27 crop year and store it in their own or third-party facilities until September 30, 2027. The order took effect in early November and exempts oil produced in October. It covers all grades, letting mills choose whether to withhold extra virgin, virgin or lampante oil. MAPA said the measure aims to regulate supply and stabilize the market, guaranteeing farmer profitability and protecting buyers. Spain is expected to produce 1.6 million metric tons this campaign, more than 23 percent above last season, and entered with 357,040 metric tons in stocks, also 23 percent higher; together they reach 120 percent of the average output of the previous six campaigns, meeting the criteria for the mechanism. The ministry may revise the measure after December 31, 2026, depending on the harvest. Local media reported fuel and fertilizer cost increases of about 60 percent and 50 percent. Four major farm unions welcomed the intervention, while the National Association of Edible Oil Packers and Refiners (Anierac) said it would appeal, calling the move not the most appropriate response and urging new markets.

Spain has tightened its olive oil traceability system with new rules aimed at improving oversight of domestic shipments and of imports and exports of olive oil and olive pomace oil. The measures amend quality regulations introduced in 2021 and strengthen obligations for operators who transport, receive and import olive oil. The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPA) said five years of operating REMOA, the electronic registry for tracking olive oil and olive pomace oil movements launched in 2021, had revealed areas for improvement. The new rules seek more accurate and reliable information across the supply chain, particularly for bulk shipments and imports from outside the European Union. Under the original rules, operators reported bulk movements before shipment and documents identifying the product accompanied each shipment. Five years on, gaps emerged: some shipments were recorded as dispatched without delivery confirmation, analytical documents were not consistently entered into the registry, and it was unclear which operators were responsible for reporting certain imports. Royal Decree 808/2026 addresses three areas. It defines the final recipient of imported olive oil more clearly, identifying the operator responsible for ensuring shipments from third countries or other E.U. member states carry required documentation. For bulk shipments to other E.U. member states, third countries or industries outside the olive oil sector, the operator holding the oil at dispatch remains responsible for notifying REMOA. Operators must now upload analytical reports or equivalent signed documents to REMOA when registering bulk movements; previously these accompanied shipments but were not necessarily incorporated into the registry. Recipients must confirm arrival and verify deliveries match previously reported information, allowing movements to be formally completed. Confirming receipt does not mean the recipient has accepted the oil as compliant with quality requirements; the obligation is to record and verify the delivery, not certify quality. MAPA said information on a shipment's departure was not always matched by confirmation that the movement had been completed. Including analytical documentation in REMOA will give inspectors direct access to information supporting each shipment's declared classification. The changes require businesses handling bulk olive oil to provide more detailed documentation and account for received shipments, especially those from outside the European Union. The regulation also allows authorities to treat documents equivalent to analytical reports as evidence when assessing risks and planning.

On 9 November 2026, the Human Resources Education and Training Center (Pusdiklat SDM) of Indonesia's Ministry of Forestry received a One-Star Training Institution Accreditation with a score of 85.123 in the 2026 assessment, announced in Bogor. The center said the result shows it meets the institutional assessment elements. Positive notes included support from leadership and training organizers, active leadership in building a quality and work culture, adequate training facilities, and partnership networks with stakeholders. Center head Tuti Herawati attributed the result to joint work by all staff and said accreditation is not the end but the starting point for further improvement, with every recommendation to be followed up. She called for institutional transformation through a Corporate University model so that training improves not only individual competencies but also organizational performance and forestry development. The assessment also recommended consistently strengthening internalization of work culture and better socializing the strategic plan to all employees and stakeholders.

Indonesia's Forestry Ministry, together with the military, police, prosecutors, local government and residents, cleared 88 hectares of illegal oil palm plantations inside the Lamandau Wildlife Reserve in Sukamara, Central Kalimantan, felling 11,180 palm trees. Forty-three people who had occupied and used the area illegally agreed to stop voluntarily, and 28 work huts were dismantled by their users. Dwi Januanto Nugroho, director general of forestry law enforcement, praised the voluntary halt and the support of local communities and customary leaders, while stressing that consistent monitoring is needed to prevent reoccupation and that responsibility will be pursued under applicable rules if deliberate violations, abuse of authority or neglect are found. The operation involved the forestry law enforcement directorate, the Central Kalimantan conservation agency, the Sukamara administration, military and police units, the district prosecutor's office, the local forest management unit and residents of Kartamulia village. It followed handling of a forest fire case in the reserve, in which forestry investigators had questioned 43 illegal cultivators. Persuasive approaches and Dayak customary leaders helped secure voluntary compliance.

Indonesia's Ministry of Forestry, together with other government agencies and local communities, felled about 11,180 illegally planted oil palms across 88 hectares in the Lamandau Wildlife Reserve in Central Kalimantan during an operation against illegal activities on 9 November 2026. During the operation, 43 people who had occupied and used the area illegally agreed to stop voluntarily, and 28 work huts were dismantled by their users. The ministry said the crackdown followed handling of a forest fire case in the reserve, and forestry civil servant investigators had questioned the 43 illegal cultivators. The operation used a persuasive approach involving local communities and Dayak traditional leaders, drawing on local wisdom and traditions of respect for nature. Rudianto Saragih Napitu, director of forestry criminal enforcement, said the reserve's peat ecosystem is vulnerable to damage and repeated fires, so illegal plantation activity must stop for restoration to proceed and conservation functions to be restored. Dwi Januanto Nugroho, director general of forestry law enforcement, said authorities would push for consistent monitoring, prevent reoccupation and speed up ecosystem recovery.

The COP30 Presidency launched on Monday, during the first day of COP31 in Antalya, Turkey, its Roadmap to Scale Up Efforts to Halt and Reverse Deforestation and Forest Degradation by 2030. The document sets out paths to accelerate forest conservation, sustainable use and restoration, aiming to turn into concrete action the commitment countries made in the first Global Stocktake of the Paris Agreement, adopted by consensus at COP28 in Dubai. The session was led by COP30 President Ambassador André Corrêa do Lago, who stressed multilateralism for the forest agenda and said the commitment, having been approved by consensus, provides a mandate to begin implementation. The roadmap is not subject to negotiation and offers voluntary, non-prescriptive contributions to address the second-largest global source of greenhouse gas emissions. UNFCCC Executive Secretary Simon Stiell said the document drew more than 180 contributions from countries, observer organizations and others, plus consultations with forest, climate, biodiversity and land-use representatives. According to FAO's latest Global Forest Resources Assessment, about 10.9 million hectares of forest are lost each year on average worldwide. Former Brazilian Environment and Climate Change Minister Marina Silva said the forest and fossil fuel roadmaps must advance together, guided by science, planning, financing and climate justice, with each country building its own path while respecting sovereignty and national circumstances.

Norway announced on Monday a new contribution of about 350 million reais (600 million Norwegian kroner) to the Amazon Fund, presented as recognition of Brazil's results in reducing deforestation. The announcement came on the first day of the 31st UN Climate Change Conference (COP31) in Antalya, Turkey. Norway's embassy in Brasilia said the contribution reinforces the two countries' long-term partnership to protect the Amazon forest. Norway's climate and environment minister, Sigrun Aasland, called Brazil's results impressive and important not only for the country but for the whole world. The decision draws on data from Prodes, the satellite deforestation monitoring project of Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (Inpe). From August 2025 to July 2026, deforestation in the Amazon totaled 3,335 square kilometers, down 41.8% from the previous period and the lowest figure since records began in 1988. In the Cerrado, deforestation fell 23.8% to 5,516.7 square kilometers, the lowest since monitoring began in 2001. Norway also highlighted an accumulated reduction of about 70% in Amazon deforestation over the past four years. Created in 2008, the Amazon Fund finances projects to prevent, monitor and combat deforestation and sustainable development initiatives, managed by Brazil's development bank BNDES. The mechanism was halted in 2019 under Jair Bolsonaro and reactivated by Lula in 2023. Norway is the fund's main donor, having contributed about 3.8 billion reais since its creation; it currently supports 156 projects in the Amazon. Brazilian government data put the fund's investments at 7.8 billion reais between 2023 and 2025. President Lula is expected to present Brazil's environmental results at COP31 and seek new international partnerships.

Mexico's Federal Environmental Protection Agency (Profepa) inspected a property in Mesa de Laurel, in the municipality of Coatepec, Veracruz, and found that pine and oak trees had been felled and harvested across four hectares without documentation proving the activity was legal. The inspection, carried out on October 16, identified damage to 3,649 cubic meters of pine roundwood (Pinus ayacahuite) and 1,085 cubic meters of oak (Quercus laurina), species typical of a conifer forest with broadleaf presence. As a safety measure, Profepa ordered the total temporary closure of all felling and forest harvesting activities on the site, located beside the Ingenio El Rosario-Mesa de Laurel road. The inspection followed public complaints about forestry matters. Coatepec is part of the Cofre de Perote critical forest zone, which is treated as a priority because of illegal logging inside and around the Cofre de Perote National Park.

The Confederation of Forest Owners of Euskadi (Confederación de Forestalistas de Euskadi) marked its 40th anniversary at an event at Zelaieta Zentroa in Amorebieta-Etxano, bringing together forestry sector and institutional representatives to recognize four decades of shared work by forest owner associations in Araba, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa on the management, protection and future of Basque forests. Amaia Barredo, the Basque Government's minister for Food, Rural Development, Agriculture and Fisheries, closed the meeting, stressing the Confederation's record in defending an activity she described as fundamental to the territory and saying today's Basque forests result from decisions by people who invested in, worked and cared for a heritage that is part of the region's identity. Forests cover more than 68% of Euskadi, an environmental, economic and social asset that also supports carbon capture, biodiversity, soil and water protection and a renewable raw material, while generating rural activity and jobs. Barredo called for active, sustainable forest management requiring knowledge, planning, legal certainty, investment and a long-term vision, and noted the Basque Wood Strategic Plan 2030 as a shared roadmap for the sector's challenges and the whole forest-wood chain. Confederation president José Antonio Zabala Egurrola listed challenges including adaptation to higher temperatures, pests and diseases, fire prevention and difficulties securing generational replacement of owners and forestry professionals, saying cooperation remains necessary. A roundtable, "A shared history, new challenges for the forestry future," moderated by Leire Salaberria of the Union of Foresters of Southern Europe, featured the current president and his two predecessors.

At the Iberian Large Forest Fires conference in Badajoz, Francisco Castañares, former head of Extremadura's environment agency and a forest fire expert, said fires are growing larger and harder to control, mainly due to rural abandonment, lack of forest management and the buildup of dry vegetation. He argued that while firefighting capacity has improved, fires exceeding response capacity require a different approach centred on prevention. He called for managing the territory and using all resources forests offer, not only timber but also forest biomass for energy; forests generate large amounts of plant fuel each year that, if not removed and used, raises fire risk and intensity. The meeting also addressed protecting towns, and he welcomed Extremadura's plan to allocate 10 million euros so around one hundred municipalities can draw up peri-urban prevention plans. Spanish and Portuguese specialists exchanged experience, noting the two countries share forests, environmental conditions and risks.

Norway's embassy in Brasília announced on Monday, November 9, a new donation to the Amazon Fund. Norway is the fund's largest donor, having contributed about 3.8 billion reais. The new donation recognises the decline in deforestation in Brazil: official data show the cleared area in the Amazon has fallen to its lowest level since 1988, though the transfer depends on final confirmation of the results expected at the end of the year. The money goes to the Amazon Fund, administered by Brazil's national development bank, BNDES. Resources finance environmental enforcement, firefighting and recovery of damaged areas, and also support projects that generate income for local communities without destroying the forest; 156 initiatives are currently backed. Norwegian donations were halted under Jair Bolsonaro's government and resumed when the fund was reactivated. The announcement came as the world climate conference opened in Turkey.

Spain's Agriculture Ministry has ordered olive oil producers to withhold 12% of their annual output from sale until the end of September 2027, with no financial compensation, according to the Financial Times citing BFM Business. The decree aims to stem a sustained fall in olive oil prices as this season's harvest is expected to be exceptional. Spain, the world's largest producer, expects a 23% increase in output to 1.6 million tons. The ministry estimates 188,000 tons will be kept off the market; producers may store the unsold volume on their own farms or in specialized facilities. Prices at Andalusian mills averaged 2.93 euros per kilogram in the week ending November 1, down nearly 15% from early September, according to regional government data cited by the FT. Spain's competition authority called the direct intervention "risky," while the olive sector described the decision as "very simplistic."

A woman has been arrested on suspicion of intentionally starting a wildfire in Angeles National Forest. The "Arrow Fire" began early Saturday during a red flag warning. Firefighters saw 47-year-old Sheila Nartatez walking near the small blaze along Little Tujunga Canyon Road, and deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Crescenta Valley station detained her. The flames burned about half an acre before crews extinguished them. Investigators determined the woman had deliberately set the fire. Nartatez faces one charge of recklessly causing a fire on forest land and is being held on $35,000 bail. The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information can contact the sheriff's Arson and Explosives Unit.

The Legislative Assembly of Paraná will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, the 10th, at 9:30 a.m. in the Plenarinho to discuss Bill 80/2026, introduced by Governor Ratinho Jr.'s government, which proposes changes to state environmental policy and establishes a new state Forest Code. Titled “New Forest Code — Impacts of Bill 80/2026 on Paraná's Environmental Policy,” the hearing was called by state deputies Goura (PDT) and Arilson Chiorato (PT) to broaden discussion of the bill's environmental, social and economic effects. The bill has drawn criticism from researchers, socio-environmental entities and civil society organizations. Goura said the proposal is closer to an agricultural code than environmental legislation, and warned of loosened rules protecting native vegetation and conflicts with federal law, especially the Atlantic Forest Law. It is the second time the assembly debates the bill; a March 26 public meeting focused on technical and scientific analysis. Representatives of the State Secretariat for Sustainable Development, the Water and Land Institute, Ibama, CREA-PR, CRBio-07 and OAB-PR are expected to attend.

Colombia has declared a new 23,776-hectare protected area of Andean and high-Andean forest in eastern Cundinamarca, called the Los Farallones Regional Integrated Management District, covering land in Gachalá, Medina and Ubalá. The Environment Ministry announced it on October 30, 2026, after approval by the board of Corpoguavio, the regional environmental authority. According to the ministry, the area hosts 39 endemic species and 45 species listed under CITES, and its forests supply water to three rivers in the Orinoco basin. The district borders Chingaza National Natural Park and links it with another protected area, the Cuchillas Negra y Guanaque district, creating a corridor. Technical studies indicate about 78 percent of the area is dense tall forest on firm ground. The Guavio, Humea and Guacavía rivers supply more than 1,340 people in Cundinamarca and flow into a reservoir, which the ministry says could improve electricity generation. Unlike a strictly closed park, the district regulates land use to conserve ecosystems while promoting sustainable production and community participation, and values cultural heritage and traditional knowledge. Before the declaration, Corpoguavio held meetings in the three municipalities to explain the measure and gather residents' questions. The ministry cites planned tourism, research, green businesses and payments for environmental services as economic options.

Under the measure, Spanish mills must hold back 12 percent of the oil produced in the 2026/27 campaign and store it in their own or third-party facilities until September 30, 2027.

The ministry expects Spain to produce 1.6 million metric tons in 2026/27, up more than 23 percent year on year, with opening stocks of 357,040 metric tons, also 23 percent higher. MAPA said the forecast plus carryover stocks equal 120 percent of the average output of the previous six campaigns, meeting the technical criteria for triggering the withdrawal mechanism, and that it may revise the measure from December 31, 2026, depending on the harvest. Four farm unions welcomed the move, while some producers, bottlers and exporters were critical.

Spain has strengthened its olive oil traceability system with new rules aimed at improving oversight of domestic shipments and of imports and exports of olive oil and olive pomace oil. The measures amend quality regulations introduced in 2021, reinforcing obligations for operators involved in transporting, receiving and importing olive oil. The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPA) told Olive Oil Times that over the past five years it had learned much from how REMOA operates and identified aspects that could be improved. Spain introduced REMOA, its electronic registry for tracking movements of olive oil and olive pomace oil, in 2021 as part of a broader review of national olive oil quality rules. MAPA said the new measures aim to improve the accuracy and reliability of information recorded across the supply chain, especially for bulk shipments and imports from outside the EU. Under the original rules, operators had to notify bulk oil movements to the electronic system before shipment, and each shipment had to carry documents identifying the product. After five years, enforcement revealed gaps in the information available to inspectors: some shipments remained recorded as dispatched without delivery confirmation, analytical documents were not systematically entered into the registry, and uncertainty persisted over which operators were responsible for notifying certain imports. The new Royal Decree 808/2026 addresses three areas flagged for improvement. It introduces a clearer definition of the final recipient of imported olive oil, identifying the operator responsible for ensuring shipments entering Spain from third countries or other EU member states have the required documentation. For bulk shipments destined for other EU states, third countries or industries outside the olive oil sector, the operator holding the oil at the time of shipment remains responsible for notifying REMOA. Operators must now upload signed analytical reports or equivalent documents to REMOA when registering bulk oil movements; previously these accompanied shipments but were not necessarily entered into the electronic registry. Recipients must also confirm arrival of bulk shipments and verify deliveries match previously reported information, allowing movements to be formally closed rather than left open without delivery confirmation. Confirming receipt does not mean the recipient has accepted that the oil meets quality or other applicable requirements; the obligation is to record the delivery and verify it matches declared information, not to certify quality.

Son La province in Vietnam faces a dry season that usually runs from October to April, with low rainfall, falling humidity and vegetation that ignites easily, raising forest fire risk. Following a policy of prevention first and timely suppression, the province is mobilizing the entire political system and residents to protect more than 676,000 hectares of existing forest. Since the start of the year, forestry officers and local authorities have held nearly 600 awareness sessions reaching almost 44,000 participants and persuaded households to sign forest protection and fire prevention commitments. In ten months, inspections uncovered and handled 186 forestry violations, with 185 administrative penalties, one forest destruction case transferred for prosecution and more than 3.7 billion dong paid into the state budget. Nevertheless, 21 fires occurred this year, damaging over 36 hectares, mostly poor or stocked-less forest with limited impact on forest cover. Steep mountain terrain, prolonged dry weather and slash-and-burn practices remain challenges. For the 2026-2027 dry season, the provincial forestry office has proposed a protection and fire prevention plan focused on key forest areas, with staff assigned to track fire points via a satellite information system.

Indonesia's search and rescue agency, Basarnas, recovered the body of the third occupant of a firefighting helicopter that crashed on Sunday in the Barito River in South Kalimantan province on the island of Borneo. The accident left one person dead and two survivors. The victim was identified as a 39-year-old Indonesian man who served as ground operations officer for the aircraft's landing. The two survivors were Australian pilots. The privately owned helicopter, contracted to support firefighting operations, lost control near Tabatan in Kuripan district while carrying out a water-collection maneuver with special equipment. The body was evacuated in a complex diving operation coordinated between Basarnas and local rescuers. The incident follows another fatal aviation accident days earlier in Central Kalimantan under similar circumstances that killed three crew members. Indonesia is facing a severe forest fire season in peatland areas of Borneo, Sumatra and Papua, where underground flames are difficult to extinguish.

Guidong County in Hunan's Luoxiao Mountains has 82% forest cover and has ranked first in the province for air quality for eight consecutive years, yet its GDP has long trailed the provincial average. The county once built 167 small hydropower stations, drawing energy-intensive chemical plants along its rivers; from 2014 it began shutting them down, reaching zero chemical enterprises in 2017. One plant was acquired with more than 20 million yuan in government compensation, and its former office building now serves as a tourism distribution center. Guidong has since shifted toward tourism and health retreats, specialty agriculture and eco-friendly industry. The county now has 1,066 guesthouses with over 30,000 beds, employing nearly 15,000 people and raising per-capita annual income by more than 5,000 yuan. In July and August 2026 it received 1.3568 million visitors, up 11.2% year on year, with average stays of 18.03 days. Specialty crops cover 670,000 mu, and a biomass plant is designed to absorb 150,000 tons of agricultural and forestry waste annually.

Sichuan's fire and rescue mobile corps presented 10 innovative air-ground firefighting tactics at a national forest and grassland fire prevention meeting held in Chengdu. In the aerial component, reconnaissance drones first approach and relay heat maps and wind data, after which drone clusters drop fire-extinguishing bombs, release water bags and use buckets to suppress flames on cliffs and ridges. On the ground, crews locate water sources in valleys and slopes, set up multi-stage pumps and long hose lines to create water barriers, and use all-terrain vehicles to move personnel and supplies. Sichuan has 175 counties and districts with forest fire duties, 39 of them Class I high-risk areas, and its annual fire count has fallen from over 100 to single digits. The tactics were tested in the 2024 Yajiang March 15 fire, where more than 300 residents were evacuated, and the 2021 Mianning April 20 fire. Cliff and canyon fires are a shared problem for mountain forests, and the approach offers a replicable way to cut risks to crews and losses to forest resources.

China's forestry and grassland plan for the 15th Five-Year period targets a comprehensive grassland vegetation coverage of 51% by 2030, with forest and grass coverage rising to 56.4% and total output value of the forest and grass industry reaching 14 trillion yuan, according to an interview with an official of the National Forestry and Grassland Administration's grassland department published in China Green Times. The official said work will follow the principles of increasing, protecting, expanding capacity and improving quality of grassland, aiming to stabilize grassland area, raise quality and activate existing stock. Protection measures include enforcing the basic grassland protection system, mapping and vector management, the fourth round of grassland subsidy and reward policies, strict grazing bans and grass-livestock balance, and tougher enforcement against illegal reclamation, occupation and quarrying, alongside grid-based management. Restoration will rely on key ecological projects, tiered treatment of degraded grassland, seed production bases for domestic varieties and pest control. Utilization will integrate grass planting, livestock raising and desertification control, with pilot modern pasture projects. The official noted that 70% of desertified land in the Three-North region lies in grassland.

IOI Corp said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia that Lee Yeow Seng, 47, has resigned as non-independent and non-executive director with immediate effect after serving on the board since June 2008, a tenure of about 18 years. The company appointed Yeo How as independent non-executive director the same day; Yeo is currently lead independent non-executive director of IOI Properties. IOI Corp said Lee's departure would let him focus more fully on his leadership responsibilities and on advancing IOI Properties' strategic priorities. Lee is group CEO of IOI Properties and executive chairman of IOIPG Malaysia Real Estate Investment Trust, slated to list on Bursa Malaysia later this month. The company said there were no disagreements with the board and no matters requiring shareholders' attention. IOI Corp expects single-digit palm oil production growth in the financial year ending June 30, 2027, supported by higher fresh fruit bunch output, a better oil extraction rate and young mature plantations entering a more productive phase. It also sees crude palm oil prices trending higher in 2027, with lingering El Niño effects expected to affect production in Indonesia. The Lee brothers hold 49.8% of IOI Corp through Progressive Holdings and 65.7% of IOI Properties through Vertical Capacity.

The 2026 Wood Design & Building Awards were presented in Calgary, Canada, at the opening of the Calgary Wood Solutions Conference. The Canadian Wood Council's annual program, now in its 42nd year, honours architectural professionals from Canada and abroad. This year's event featured 27 projects: 14 chosen by the awards jury, four receiving special sponsored awards and nine receiving WoodWorks regional wood design awards. Organizers said 149 submissions were received, assessed for creativity, design excellence and innovative, appropriate use of wood in meeting project goals. The winning projects span building types and scales and reflect how advances in wood products, engineering and prefabrication are enabling more sophisticated structural and architectural solutions. Council President and CEO Derek Nighbor said the teams' creativity, skill and ambition show how thoughtful wood design can create places that are more inspiring, more enduring and better suited to people and communities.

Nippon Paper Industries said it will end production of graphic paper and pulp at its plant in Yatsushiro, Kumamoto Prefecture, southwestern Japan, which was damaged by a powerful earthquake in July. The company concluded that repairing or replacing production equipment at the mill would take three to four years and involve significant costs. It will look for new business opportunities at the site. Nippon Paper expects to record about 20 billion yen in earthquake-related losses in the fiscal year ending in March 2027, including 15.1 billion yen in the first half. Including other disaster-related losses, the company forecasts a consolidated net loss of 40 billion yen for the year, compared with a profit of 11.7 billion yen the previous year. Production of newsprint and other items at the Yatsushiro plant will be transferred to its other mills in Japan, and output of some products will be outsourced to other companies.

Light Year Explorer, a commercial space company based in Jiangsu, China, has built a rocket fairing with a wooden outer skin as part of efforts to cut costs and enable mass production of launch vehicles. The company said the fairing uses low-density plywood shaped into a smooth aerodynamic curve, supported by an internal metal frame that carries loads. According to the firm, it matches conventional composite fairings in weight, structural rigidity, radio-wave transparency and noise reduction while markedly reducing production cost and manufacturing time. The fairing is 4.2 metres in diameter and designed for mainstream commercial rockets, including multi-satellite ride-share missions and large single payloads, to support high-frequency launches for satellite constellations. It will undergo testing and validation before the design is finalised and delivered to customers. The company also makes stainless steel tanks and corrugated cylinder-cone segments, which together account for about 60 per cent of a vehicle's weight.

The Precision Silviculture Program at the University of Canterbury is backing several final-year engineering student projects aimed at turning ideas into practical tools for forestry. One of the most notable is the Bareroot Lifter Project, developed over recent years. The machine is intended to be commercially viable, rapidly lifting bareroot seedlings in nurseries while cutting labour needs and improving efficiency. After lifting, seedlings can be moved on for grading and processing, and later versions may combine lifting with automated grading in one system. Interest is not limited to New Zealand: bareroot nursery operators in North America face similar challenges and have shown strong interest in mechanised lifting, suggesting wider adoption as the technology matures.

Roger Poltock, a farmer and long-time tree grower in northwest Tasmania, has shown how integrating trees into a farming operation can deliver environmental gains, better livestock welfare and strong financial returns. Over more than four decades he has built a productive agroforestry system on a property of about 95 hectares running beef cattle, with roughly 26 hectares of forests, plantations, shelterbelts and environmental plantings. In 1987, supported by a loan through Private Forests Tasmania, he established 10 hectares of Pinus radiata, which was eventually harvested and returned about A$20,000 per hectare net while providing shelter throughout its life. Trees were also placed on steep, inaccessible areas, along waterways and around dams, leaving productive land for grazing; the farm finishes 100 to 120 beef cattle a year. A 0.7-hectare planting of Leyland cypress established in 1992 under a Eucalyptus nitens nurse crop was pruned to six metres over three cycles. An early test harvest of one tree, 50 centimetres diameter at breast height, drew positive processor feedback, with estimates of up to A$4,000 per cubic metre.

Responsible Wood is sponsoring 15 places in the new JASANZ Futures x Responsible Wood training program, which aims to strengthen auditing capability across the forestry sector in Australia and New Zealand. The program helps forestry businesses build internal auditing expertise and gives experienced auditors from other sectors a pathway into forestry, or allows auditors already in the sector to upskill. Acting Responsible Wood CEO Matt de Jongh said forest certification gives businesses a credible way to demonstrate responsible forest management and meet market expectations, and that investing in auditing capability aims to reinforce the integrity of sustainable forest management practices. The program combines Responsible Wood's expertise in sustainable forest management certification with JASANZ's expertise in accreditation and conformity assessment, delivered through online learning, mentoring and field trips, and is recognised by the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) as initial training for forest management auditors. JASANZ CEO Sarah Valentine described the partnership as an investment in market confidence, calling accredited certification part of the infrastructure of trade. PEFC International's South Pacific Programme Manager, Richard Laity, said the program builds on existing regional capability and complements sustainable forestry practices with on-the-ground support from JASANZ technical assessors and PEFC New Zealand. The program runs from April to July 2027 and, while designed for Australian and New Zealand audiences, remains open to forestry and conformity assessment professionals from other regions.

ForestFit Collective held an event in Launceston, bringing together forest service businesses, government representatives and industry stakeholders. ForestFit CEO Dionne Olsen said certification is not the end goal but a means of building better businesses, improving operations and delivering outcomes that matter. Hosted by Artes Specialty and Mobius Insurance at the Arbre Forest Industries Training and Careers Hub, the event reinforced the essential role forest service businesses play in translating sustainable forest management commitments into on-the-ground outcomes. Tasmania's Minister for Business, Industry and Resources, Felix Ellis MP, welcomed the event, calling forest service businesses the backbone of Tasmania's forest industry and saying ForestFit helps build a stronger, safer and more capable industry. A highlight was a practical, toolbox-style discussion led by Chris Mangan of CJM Safety, with Tasmanian NHVR representatives answering questions. The session helped businesses understand legislative changes to Heavy Vehicle Accreditation (HVA), clarify audit expectations and gain practical insights into preparing their management systems. ForestFit also outlined plans to provide integrated audit opportunities for certified businesses, incorporating HVA and relevant ISO standards to reduce audit duplication, streamline compliance and provide a more efficient pathway to demonstrating effective risk management and operational performance.

The Tasmanian government has backed national certification for the state's forest service businesses. Minister for Business, Industry and Resources Felix Ellis addressed contractors, government representatives and industry stakeholders in Launceston, describing forest service businesses as the backbone of Tasmania's forest industry and welcoming their efforts on safety, responsible work and continuous improvement under ForestFit certification. The event, hosted by Artes Specialty and Mobius Insurance at the Arbre Forest Industries Training and Careers Hub, was cited by the scheme as evidence of how essential these businesses are to putting sustainable forest management into practice. ForestFit chief executive Dionne Olsen said certification is not the end goal but a means of building better businesses and improving operations. The scheme describes itself as an international first, with nationally consistent Forest Services Standards against which JASANZ-accredited bodies independently audit harvesting, haulage, civil and silviculture businesses. Chris Mangan of CJM Safety led a practical session on Heavy Vehicle Accreditation changes, with National Heavy Vehicle Regulator representatives answering questions. ForestFit also outlined plans for integrated audits covering HVA and relevant ISO standards, which it says will cut duplication and streamline compliance.

Indonesia's statistics agency reported that agriculture, which includes forestry, grew just 0.46 per cent in the third quarter, down from 3.80 per cent. The forestry subsector contracted 2.52 per cent year on year, compared with growth of 6.02 per cent in the second quarter. An agency official said the impact of forest and land fires can be seen directly in forestry growth. National growth rose to 5.47 per cent from 5.29 per cent, with manufacturing expanding 5.87 per cent and contributing most. Kalimantan, 8.25 per cent of the economy, slowed to 3.96 per cent from 4.68 per cent, the weakest of six regions. Central Kalimantan grew 2.05 per cent, which the local statistics head said had indeed slowed from the previous quarter. Greenpeace Indonesia counted 859 haze source spots inside 115 timber concessions between early August and late September, more than 774 across 210 palm oil concessions; Central Kalimantan recorded the most at 1,477.

The US Department of Commerce cut the combined duty on most Canadian softwood lumber to 24.75 per cent from 35.16 per cent in its seventh annual review, then applied the rate retroactively to lumber entering the United States during 2024, leaving more than 200 Canadian producers with new bills. Global Affairs Canada said most had paid deposits as low as 8.05 per cent and can generally expect a net invoice plus interest. Interfor will record US$63.3 million in extra duties and US$11.4 million in interest this quarter. Canfor will book a C$45.9 million duty expense in the fourth quarter, has taken a $31.8 million write-down on its Fox Creek sawmill in Alberta, closed permanently in September, and expects to shut its Northwood pulp mill in Prince George, British Columbia, by year-end. Western Forest Products expects US$27.6 million in export tax and US$5.5 million in interest, while keeping its Cowichan Bay and Chemainus sawmills curtailed for the rest of the year.

Rising mortgage rates and soaring land and building material prices are pushing wooden-house builders across Japan out of business. Tokyo Shoko Research counted 181 bankruptcies with debts of at least ¥10 million in the first ten months of the year, 1.8 times the 101 recorded a year earlier. The Japan Housing Finance Agency's Flat 35 fixed-rate loan now starts at 3.81 per cent, more than double the 1.76 per cent of April 2023. A buyer repaying ¥100,000 a month over 35 years can now afford a home worth ¥23 million, down from ¥31 million. Most failures are small builders, with half owing under ¥50 million, but three owed more than ¥1 billion, up from one. Osaka saw 18 failures and Hyogo 15, while Tokyo's count tripled to 12. Taiko House in Aichi failed in March owing ¥3.4 billion, and House M21 in Iwate failed in January owing ¥1.1 billion. Japan started 711,171 homes in the year to March, the fewest since records began in 2000, with 59.5 per cent built in timber.

Spain's Ministry of Agriculture has ordered farmers to hold back 12% of the olive oil produced this season in storage until the end of September 2027. The decision comes as a large harvest is forecast: output could rise 23% this season to 1.6 million tonnes, which would be the fourth-largest harvest on record. Farmers must keep the oil on their own farms or in third-party storage facilities. The ministry aims to keep about 188,000 tonnes of olive oil temporarily off the market, saying the measure is meant to ensure farmer profitability, protect buyers' interests and add stability to the market. The season began in September, and favorable spring weather may offset the effects of drought and heat in previous years. The European Union allows olive oil supplies to be withheld if this does not cause excessive market distortion. Expectations of greater supply have already affected prices: at Andalusian mills last weekend the average price was €2.93 per kilogram, about 15% lower than roughly two months earlier. Industry representatives criticized the attempt to support prices, stressing that the olive oil market is global while the order applies only to Spanish producers. Kyle Holland, a senior analyst at Expana, also noted that olive oil deteriorates during storage and may no longer meet the extra virgin category after just a few months; according to him, major buyers already hold substantial stocks, so storing part of production may not have an immediate price impact.

Spain, the world's largest olive oil producer, has ordered farmers to hold back 12% of their output until the end of September 2027, requiring storage on farms or at third-party facilities. The agriculture ministry said the measure aims to ensure farmers' profitability, protect buyers' interests and bring greater stability to the market. The EU permits such withholding as long as it does not excessively distort the market. This season's Spanish production is projected to rise 23% to 1.6 million tons, the fourth-largest harvest on record, and the ministry seeks to keep 188,000 tons off the market. Expectations of higher supply have already pushed prices down: Andalusian mill prices averaged 2.93 euros per kilogram last weekend, about 15% lower in roughly two months. The industry opposes the price-support effort, noting the market is global while the order applies only to Spanish producers. An analyst also noted olive oil degrades in storage and that major buyers already hold ample supplies.

Over the past two years, Indonesia's Forestry Ministry converted about 14 hectares of the Liang Anggang protected forest in Banjarbaru, South Kalimantan, into a large nursery producing up to 10 million seedlings a year as part of efforts to meet the FOLU Net Sink 2030 target. But Raden Rafiq, executive director of Walhi South Kalimantan, said on Nov. 6 that all areas around the nursery had burned. The nursery building survived, but most of the 960-hectare Block I burned and fire is suspected to have spread into the 1,290-hectare peat Block II; he estimated hundreds of hectares of peatland burned between August and October 2026. Forestry Minister Raja Juli Antoni led a suppression operation on Oct. 12, with at least 150 personnel, excavators and pumps deployed to wet the peat. The site lies 11 kilometers west of Syamsudin Noor International Airport and is a planting area under the Norway-backed Result Based Contribution scheme. South Kalimantan forestry head Fathimatuzzahra said the province received Rp 9 billion in RBC grants in 2024 for 305 hectares of rehabilitation and Rp 11 billion in 2025 for a similar area.

Brazil's federal government approved a national roadmap to halt and reverse deforestation and forest degradation by 2030. The document was adopted at the sixth ordinary meeting of the Interministerial Committee on Climate Change in Brasília and sets priorities for speeding up environmental policy implementation and meeting the country's climate commitments. It focuses on forest conservation and sustainable use, restoration of degraded areas, combating illegal deforestation and fires, and reducing legal vegetation clearing, backed by economic instruments. It also calls for stronger environmental financing, technical assistance, governance, technological innovation and market access. The committee approved guidelines for implementing the Brazilian Emissions Trading System under Law 15,042/2024, including procedures for measuring, reporting and verifying greenhouse gas emissions. Forest restoration and reducing methane emissions from landfills and organic waste are among the initially prioritized activities. According to Prodes data from the National Institute for Space Research, deforestation fell 71.2% in the Legal Amazon and 48.4% in the Cerrado between 2022 and 2026. Net emissions fell by about 560 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent from 2022 to 2024, mainly due to lower deforestation. The committee also validated the second Biennial Transparency Report and fifth National Communication, and approved the first monitoring report of the 2024–2035 Climate Plan, to be published on the IndicaClima platform.

A court in Mato Grosso, Brazil, has ruled that a rural producer enrolled in the Environmental Regularization Program (PRA), following its recovery schedule and granted an extension for compensation by the environmental agency, cannot have its activities embargoed by a preliminary injunction. The state's 2nd Public and Collective Law Chamber revoked an embargo on the economic exploitation of a farm, finding the legal probability required for such an injunction was absent. The case arose from a delay in compensating a legal reserve deficit, which occurs when a property holds less native vegetation than the minimum required by the Forest Code. The state prosecutor's office sought to bar economic use of about 1,400 hectares, and a lower court granted the request with a daily fine of 5,000 reais. The owners appealed, arguing the fault lay with public administration and that the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR) was being regularized. The judge noted the PRA reconciles conservation and production, and that compliant producers may operate during recovery and compensation. The farm had a recovery plan and biennial monitoring reports, but state environment department systems failed to update the data. The chamber revoked the embargo and reinstated tax incentives and credit lines.

Brazil's federal government approved a strategic plan to halt and reverse deforestation and forest degradation by 2030, during a Friday meeting of the Interministerial Committee on Climate Change in Brasilia. The document, called the Brazilian Roadmap, gathers measures to speed up environmental goals and strengthen coordination among public policies, and will be part of the agenda Brazil presents at the 31st UN Climate Change Conference (COP31), set to begin November 9 in Turkey. The roadmap sets four main areas: conservation and sustainable use of forests; expanded forest restoration, including recovery of degraded areas; maintaining and strengthening operations against illegal deforestation and fires; and reducing legal vegetation suppression with economic instruments that encourage conservation. According to federal data, annual deforestation fell 71.2% in the Legal Amazon and 48.4% in the Cerrado between 2022 and 2026, based on INPE's satellite monitoring project. The government also reported declines from August 2024 to July 2025 versus the previous 12 months: 65.4% in the Pantanal, 41.7% in the Pampa, 34.3% in the Caatinga and 15.3% in the Atlantic Forest. The report notes that differing periods and methods must be considered when interpreting results. Implementation will depend on funding, technical assistance and stronger institutions. The committee also approved guidelines for the regulated carbon market under Law 15.042/2024, which created the Brazilian Emissions Trading System.

Spanish company Deoleo, described as the world's largest olive oil bottler, reached an agreement in November 2026 to sell its operating arm. The deal, valued at 520 million euros, was signed with the cooperative Dcoop together with the Acesur group. Notably, the company built its leading position without owning a single olive grove or pressing facility; in the first six months of the year alone it purchased 76.8 million liters of oil from external suppliers. Completion of the transfer of control still awaits approval from the relevant regulatory authorities. In addition, closing the transaction is conditional on meeting specific requirements related to the marketing licenses for the Bertolli brand.

Spain's Deoleo, which describes itself as the world's largest olive oil bottler, signed a deal in November 2026 to sell its operating business to the cooperative Dcoop and the olive oil group Acesur for 520 million euros. Completion depends on regulatory approvals and a condition tied to the Bertolli licences. The company owns no olive groves or mills and bought 76.8 million litres from third parties in the first half of 2026, according to its half-year report, which flags drought on suppliers' land as a direct business risk. Raw material accounts for more than 80% of operating costs, so management tracks gross profit per litre, which rose to 0.98 euros from 0.79 euros a year earlier. To reduce risk, Deoleo locked in purchases earlier: inventory purchase contracts reached 60.2 million euros in June 2026, double the December 2025 level. It posted a 54.5 million euro loss in 2024 and returned to profit in 2025 with 20 million euros on revenue of 821 million euros. Its brands, including Carbonell, Bertolli, Carapelli, Koipe and Hojiblanca, are sold in more than 40 countries.

Altos de Ninhue, a dry hilly area in Chile's Ñuble region, has now planted more than 300 trees to restore native forest. The latest push came on 27 October at Fundo Curahuén, where about 120 students from the forestry track of Liceo Bicentenario Arturo Prat Chacón planted species including espino, corcolén, litre, huingán, quillay and peumo, according to Chile's Environment Ministry. It was the fourth volunteer cycle of the GEF Landscape Restoration Project, which aims to revive degraded land in a commune with little water and high fire risk. Seedlings were donated by the NGO Núcleo Nativo and the land belongs to the Fundación Santuario Curahuén. Earlier, a community day on 5 September planted about 120 trees at the same site, and on 13 October students from a school in neighbouring Quirihue planted another 120 and received certificates. A municipal official said Ninhue faces critical water scarcity, wildfire and landslide risks. The regional environment delegate said restoring native vegetation is key to strengthening biodiversity. The project is funded by the Global Environment Facility and implemented by FAO with the ministry and CONAF.

Authorities in Russia's Amur Region report that forest management inventory work has covered more than 1.2 million hectares, carried out under the national project "Ecological Wellbeing." Anton Dimov, head of the forest use department at the regional ministry of forestry and fire safety, said the inventory is a comprehensive survey of forests and a detailed management plan for the next decade. Specialists establish precise boundaries of forest districts and blocks, calculate the volume of timber that can be harvested without harming nature, and plan protection, safeguarding and reforestation measures. The modern process has three technological stages: satellite imagery and other data are analyzed first to identify windthrow, fire damage and traces of illegal logging; modern measuring tools are then used, with drones building detailed 3D models of terrain and tree crowns in hard-to-reach areas; finally, data is loaded into the federal state information system for the forest sector. The national project, in place since 2025, also covers waste sorting infrastructure, landfill cleanup, water body clearing, emission reduction, ecotourism and biodiversity.

Thai Nguyen province in Vietnam continues to expand its forestry economy, according to the October 2026 forestry report from the provincial forest protection sub-department. By the end of October, concentrated planting had added 575.94 hectares, bringing the year-to-date total to 8,637.67 hectares, or 115.17 percent of the annual plan and 10.78 percent (840.71 hectares) more than the same period in 2025. Scattered tree planting reached 1,772,247 trees, 118.15 percent of plan, including 86,300 forestry seedlings distributed under the 2026-2030 "Sow a million green shoots, cover ten thousand forests" program. On certification, 7,664.41 hectares received FSC sustainable forest management certification in 2026, 191.6 percent of the assigned target, raising the certified total to 45,195.96 hectares; Forest Protection Stations No. 10 and No. 14 are working with cooperatives and companies including An Thanh and Binh Minh HP to extend certification in several communes. Cumulative timber output reached 746,682.85 cubic meters, 100.23 percent of plan, mainly from planted forests and scattered trees, supplying wood processing without reducing natural forest area. Patrols were stepped up in key and border areas, with 122 coordination arrangements maintained with police, military and local authorities in October, when no forest fires occurred; fires fell from 13 in 2025 to one minor fire of 1.55 hectares this year. Authorities opened files on 216 violations.

The Bengkalis District Court in Riau, Indonesia, ruled in environmental civil case No. 49/Pdt.Sus-LH/2026/PN Bls, with a panel led by presiding judge Manata Binsar Tua Samosir alongside judges Geri Caniggia and Ardian Nur Rahman. The verdict, read and uploaded electronically on Wednesday, October 21, fully granted the environmental legal-standing lawsuit filed by the Riau Madani Foundation. The court found that Forestry Ministerial Decision No. SK.37/Menhut-II/2008 of February 20, 2008, which released about 13,415.70 hectares of convertible production forest in the Sungai Nyiur forest group on Rupat Island, Bengkalis, for PT Marita Makmur Jaya, has no legal force. It declared the company had committed unlawful acts in forestry and the environment and ordered restoration of the disputed area: all oil palms on the 13,415.70 hectares must be felled and the land reforested with species including meranti, kempas, bintangur, durian burung, tembesu and bayur, after which it must be returned to the Republic of Indonesia through the Forestry Ministry. The company faces a daily penalty of 10 million rupiah if it fails to comply, and the forestry minister, as co-defendant, must obey the ruling. The case stemmed from the foundation's claim that the company had converted the Sungai Nyiur limited production forest into an oil palm plantation since 2009. The panel rejected arguments about relocation or forest-status change, holding that permanent release of forest for non-forestry use requires clear-and-clean replacement land that was not previously forest; swapping in areas already classified as production forest, such as PT Bina Duta Laksana's site in Indragiri Hilir, did not meet sustainable environmental governance and violated the in dubio pro natura principle.

Quintana Roo, Mexico, is losing nearly 15,000 hectares of jungle each year to deforestation. In the north, losses are driven by real estate and tourism development, while in the south the damage is linked to agroindustry. The state Environmental Protection Prosecutor's Office (PPA) has opened about 430 files against irregular developments so far this year, mostly in Cancún, Playa del Carmen and Tulum; agency head Alonso Fernández Lemmen Meyer said several cases have been referred to federal authorities for encroaching on nationally regulated ecosystems. The Secretariat of Urban Territorial and Sustainable Development (Sedetus) has identified at least 780 irregular settlements across the state's 11 municipalities. In Playa del Carmen, residents reported tree clearing on green areas near Constituyentes Avenue, between the Palmas 1 and Misión de las Flores subdivisions. According to their accounts, heavy machinery arrived in early November to prepare land for new apartment complexes and residential lots, and subdivision signs were later posted. Neighbors asked the municipal sustainable environment and climate change office and the federal environmental protection agency (Profepa) to check whether the companies hold valid environmental impact permits from the Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat) and required forest land-use change authorizations. So far, municipal and federal environmental agencies have issued no public position or inspection reports specifically on the identified plots. Recently, Profepa has ordered precautionary closures of non-compliant properties in the area; on October 21, Semarnat announced the closure of a Playa del Carmen site after finding 14,632 square meters of medium sub-evergreen jungle fully cleared without authorization.

Francisco Torres, coordinator of the Argentine Forestry Association (AFOA) for Corrientes and Misiones, told a forestry seminar in Misiones that when sawmills sell less they cut costs, and that pressure reaches tree growers, who end up halting new plantings. Argentina's economic crisis has pushed domestic wood demand to historic lows, hitting construction uses such as structural timber and cladding. Export markets exist, but high freight and other costs leave producers uncompetitive. Torres estimated that river transport could cut costs by about US$1,000 per container, though this would require loosening regulations; both provinces are far from the Buenos Aires port and would need to combine trucking, ports and navigation. Misiones has a network of small producers, sawmills and a major pulp industry, while Corrientes developed through large-scale plantations and sees room to expand, especially in silvopastoral systems. Torres also cited pine resin extraction and carbon credits as possible extra income.

The forestry sector in Corrientes and Misiones faces a critical dilemma: deciding to plant trees today for harvest in 15 or 20 years is being undermined by current economic conditions. Francisco Torres, coordinator of the Argentine Forestry Association (AFOA) for both provinces, says falling sawmill sales are passed directly to producers, who, facing uncertainty and weak profitability, choose not to start new plantations. The economic crisis has pushed domestic wood demand to historic lows, especially hurting construction, which uses structural timber and cladding. Foreign markets exist, but high logistics costs, particularly freight, leave Argentine producers uncompetitive. Torres estimates river navigation could cut transport costs by about US$1,000 per container, but this would require loosening existing regulations. The two provinces took different forestry paths: Misiones has a network of small producers and a consolidated pulp industry, while Corrientes relies on large plantation areas. Product diversification and more processing are seen as ways to open markets and ease logistics costs; pine resin and carbon credits are mentioned as possible extra income, though their current impact is limited given the country's low systemic competitiveness.

The Teruel AgroForestal project, promoted by the Rural Bioeconomy Innovation Centre of Teruel (CITA Teruel), is driving the creation and consolidation of associations and groupings of private forest owners in Spain's Teruel province to encourage sustainable forest management and generate new bioeconomy opportunities in rural areas. The work falls under the Territorio Bosque work package, focused on sustainable use of forest resources and fire prevention. On 18 November an information day will present a forest pilot on fire prevention at the 'La hoya' woodland in Castellote, followed by a roundtable on public-private collaboration for managing private forests at fire risk. Teruel has extensive private forest area with highly fragmented ownership and many small plots, which the Government of Aragon says undermines the profitability of forestry operations and limits management work that keeps forests healthy and reduces fire risk. The project is supporting new owners joining associations in Fuentes de Rubielos and Arens de Lledó and the Belmonte de San José grouping, with technical follow-up including cutting applications to Inaga and forest management plans.

Bao Ha commune in Lao Cai province, Vietnam, is using funds from National Target Program 1719 to mechanize agricultural and forestry production for local households. Residents have been growing cinnamon, fruit trees and other forest trees, and raising pigs, chickens and fish. However, production remains scattered, farm sizes vary, and limited capital and access to technical advances keep yields and economic returns low. The commune approved a project on community production support and mechanization in agriculture and forestry under Project 3 of the 1719 program, extending through 2026. Total investment exceeds 1.1 billion dong, including more than 915 million dong from the program and over 204 million dong in counterpart funds from residents. The project covers three villages—Nhai Tho 2, Nhai Tho 3 and Nhai Ten—with 170 participating households, prioritizing poor and near-poor households. It provides 87 brush cutters, 15 feed pellet machines, 7 tillers and 8 rice threshers, with technical staff sent to villages to train users on operation and maintenance. Targets include tending and improving nearly 300 hectares of garden and forest land, planting and caring for nearly 33 hectares of fruit trees, and raising average income from 65 million to 90 million dong per hectare.

Indonesia's Ministry of Forestry recorded 165 high-confidence hotspots nationwide as of 21:00 local time on November 7, 2026, up 110 from 55 the previous day, according to its SiPongi monitoring system. In six priority provinces for forest and land fire control, hotspots rose from 14 to 17: Central Kalimantan 13, South Sumatra 2, Jambi 1 and South Kalimantan 1, while West Kalimantan and Riau recorded none. Central Kalimantan jumped from zero to 13, Jambi fell from 9 to 1 and South Sumatra from 5 to 2. The ministry stressed that hotspots are surface temperature anomalies detected by NASA satellites and cannot be equated with fire incidents or burned area; all indications require field verification. In Central Kalimantan, a peatland fire in Jabiren village, Pulang Pisau regency, has not been fully extinguished and needs further suppression. Some sites in Tanjung Taruna are wet but require continued watering, and smoke persists elsewhere. A fire on semi-peat land in Sikan village, North Barito regency, also remains unextinguished. Joint operations extinguished fires in Pematang Panjang, Seruyan regency, and Pasir Putih, East Kotawaringin. In South Sumatra, the fire at Sungai Rambutan, Ogan Ilir, is out, while an underground peat fire at Sungai Bungin, Ogan Komering Ilir, needs further suppression.

With a new marketing rule for olive oil now in force, the farm organization UPA Castilla y León (UPA CyL) is calling for similar market-regulating tools for the grain sector. The group acknowledges that olive oil and grain face different conditions, but says the olive oil rule opens a path that could inspire action in other sectors. It argues that the grain market suffers repeated severe distortions, with current prices at ruinous levels that could and should be addressed. UPA CyL suggests that grain cooperatives in the region should take the lead in curbing massive grain imports far above the country's needs, so as not to ruin family grain farms in Castilla y León. The organization calls for commitments across the supply chain to keep farm-gate prices above production costs. It warns that very high production costs and ruinous origin prices, driven largely by massive imports, could gradually reduce the region's grain area, describing Castilla y León as Spain's granary.

A study published in Trees, Forests and People presents an adaptive multi-source remote sensing framework for detecting forest wildfires, mapping burned areas and monitoring them in the mountainous terrain of Chongqing, China. The authors note that mountain wildfires threaten forest ecosystems and communities in complex terrain, yet monitoring remains difficult: fragmented vegetation, rugged topography and high summer land-surface temperatures make active fires and burned surfaces hard to separate spectrally. The framework combines MODIS, Landsat 8, Sentinel 2 and FY-4A AGRI observations with existing analytical methods, and addresses adaptive thresholds, non-photosynthetic vegetation, burned-area mapping and fire-line tracking. For the forestry and forest-products sector, the work targets fire identification and burned-area delineation under complex mountain conditions, offering a technical reference for forest resource monitoring and post-fire assessment.

The 9th China International Import Expo (CIIE) hosted a 'Zero-carbon CIIE, Green Expo' event at the China Pacific Insurance (CPIC) pavilion in the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai). The Anhui Provincial Forestry Bureau and CPIC P&C signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The CIIE Bureau, Chizhou Municipal People's Government and CPIC completed a carbon sink transaction and donation ceremony, with the Beijing Green Exchange witnessing CPIC present the carbon neutrality certificate for the 9th CIIE to the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai). CPIC Group President Zhao Yonggang said the company will deepen green finance innovation and extend it from traditional risk protection to ecological value creation. For this CIIE, CPIC purchased about 43,500 tonnes of forestry carbon tickets from Chizhou, Anqing, Xuancheng, Lu'an, Chuzhou and Huangshan in Anhui to offset the expo's carbon emissions. The cooperation links local forestry carbon sink resources with a national open platform, promotes market-based application of forestry carbon tickets at major national events, broadens income channels for forestry operators and enhances market recognition of Anhui's forestry carbon sinks. CPIC is also exploring combining policy-based forest insurance, forestry carbon sink index insurance and carbon sink value loss insurance with carbon sink development, using satellite remote sensing and disaster warning technologies to provide risk protection for forest resource protection, carbon sink stock stability and carbon asset value security. Since 2022, CPIC has introduced a carbon inclusive mechanism for individual carbon neutrality actions and partnered with the UN Global Compact to explore plastic recycling.

The Daloling Nature Reserve held its 2026–2027 joint prevention and fire safety training on November 4–5, with 91 participants. The first day covered fire prevention reports, signing of joint prevention agreements and equipment drills; the second day featured a forest fire emergency exercise. As of this year, the reserve has gone 56 consecutive years without a major forest fire. Located on the north bank of the Three Gorges Dam reservoir head, it covers 14,225 hectares and serves as an important ecological barrier for the Yangtze River basin. In the drill, staff reported a simulated fire within one minute to the duty room, and advance firefighting, drone observation, pump rescue and reinforcement teams deployed with equipment while drones monitored the situation in real time. The reserve's 25-member fire brigade is Yichang's first semi-professional forest fire rescue team centered on a protected area, conducting quarterly equipment drills and maintenance. Nearly 200 infrared cameras, forest fire video monitoring and drone nests are in place. Its water network includes two fire reservoirs holding about 296,000 cubic meters, 15 fire pools, 15.5 km of emergency pipelines and 50 hydrants, covering 45 km. Joint prevention agreements signed at the training link surrounding townships and villages to the same defense line.

Eddy Martono, chairman of the Indonesian Palm Oil Association (GAPKI), said on November 6 in Jakarta that the service fee planned by Danantara Resources (DSI) for exports of strategic resource commodities is still under discussion, and the association has urged the government to set the rate carefully so as not to burden palm oil companies and, in turn, smallholders. He noted that exporters already pay an export levy (PE) and export duty and must meet domestic market obligations (DMO); handling exports through DSI could add a new cost. GAPKI has not proposed a figure but has raised concerns that an excessive fee would pressure the domestic crude palm oil (CPO) market. It also questions whether shipments will flow smoothly under the new mechanism: plantation tank capacity is limited and CPO must be heated during storage, with prolonged heating possibly affecting quality, so the government should account for its short shelf life. Dony Oskaria, head of the state-owned enterprise supervisory body and chief operating officer of the Danantara investment authority, has said DSI will charge for export inspection and verification of prices and volumes, without earning trading margins, to give exporters legal certainty.

A study in the Canadian Journal of Forest Research examined how early tree growth after fire in interior Alaskan boreal forests responds to excluding mammalian herbivores. Researchers set up paired fenced exclosures and control plots at five sites along a fire-severity gradient to test the effects of native herbivores, including moose and snowshoe hares, on regenerating trees. Species involved include black spruce, trembling aspen and Alaska paper birch. Fire is a key driver of secondary succession in boreal forests, and variation in fire severity shapes which tree species dominate; selective browsing by herbivores may alter those successional pathways. The results showed moderate responses of early tree growth to herbivore exclusion, with effects differing by tree species. For forestry, this suggests post-fire herbivore management may influence future stand composition, though the magnitude of the effect is limited.

A study in Ecohydrology examined the water codependency of Chilean Mediterranean climate-type coastal forests on marine fog. In this region, precipitation is lower than evapotranspiration, producing a clear water-balance deficit that contrasts with the forest's greenness. Because rainfall alone cannot meet evapotranspiration demand, fog may act as a supplementary water input that offsets this apparent imbalance. The research looked at the vertical and horizontal distribution of fog, the efficiency of canopy fog collection, and the contribution of fog water to the water balance. The fog input comes from fog intercepted by the forest, which is captured by coastal hillsides. For forestry, the findings suggest that in coastal forests with insufficient rainfall, fog water may be an important source sustaining forest water conditions, linking canopy structure directly to water acquisition.

Sumitomo Forestry reported quarterly revenue of JP¥715b, 6.9% below analyst expectations, and statutory earnings per share of JP¥20.82, about 21% short of forecasts. Despite the clear earnings miss, the seven analysts covering the company left their consensus estimates unchanged: revenue of JP¥3.22t is expected in 2027, up 23% from the last 12 months, with earnings per share rising 31% to JP¥164, matching pre-results forecasts. Analysts also reconfirmed a price target of JP¥1,587, with the most bullish estimate at JP¥1,920 per share and the most bearish at JP¥1,300. The forecast implies 18% annualised revenue growth through 2027, faster than the company's 12% historical rate over five years and well above the 3.4% annual growth expected for the wider industry. For the wood and forest products sector, the results and outlook of this Japanese timber and wooden-housing company offer a reference point on downstream wood demand.

Brazil's COP30 presidency presented roadmaps to end deforestation and phase out fossil fuels ahead of COP31, which runs from November 9 to 20 in Antalya, Turkey. Ambassador André Corrêa do Lago said the documents are no longer part of negotiations but are concrete contributions to help countries implement what was agreed, and that they aim to support policy-making based on existing information, science and data. COP30 executive director Ana Toni said the transition is inevitable and planning should start as soon as possible. The roadmap outlines a three-phase collective agenda between 2028 and 2033, with a goal of net zero by 2050 in line with the science. Joeri Rogelj, a professor at Imperial College London, called the roadmaps valuable but limited, noting they include no timeline or key benchmarks. The text describes the roadmaps as voluntary, non-prescriptive and not subject to negotiation. Greenpeace urged countries to use them as a driving force for COP31, while saying the fossil fuel roadmap stops short of clear phase-out targets or a call to halt expansion. The report also said Brazil's forest facility has reached $7.6 billion of a $10 billion target, and that UNEP says annual forest funding must rise from $84.5 billion in 2023 to over $300 billion by 2030.

At least 20 farmers, including women, from across Punjab attended a five-day training course on oilseed crop cultivation and processing at Punjab Agricultural University (PAU). The course, run by PAU's Skill Development Centre under the Directorate of Extension Education, aimed to promote crop diversification and raise farmer incomes through value addition. Skill development associate director Rupinder Kaur said the goal was to encourage farmers to integrate oilseeds into existing farming systems and explore processing for better returns. She said scientific production practices combined with processing and value addition could broaden income sources and improve profitability. Course coordinator Kulvir Kaur stressed the training's value for small and marginal farmers and urged participants to treat oilseeds as a viable supplementary enterprise. Technical sessions covered the state's cultivation status, seed production, raya and mustard practices, insect-pest management and disease control strategies, as well as oil quality, productivity gains and sunflower production. Trainees also learned about spring groundnut cultivation and quality improvement methods.

The federal government has earmarked CAD 6.5 billion for Canada's forestry sector, but the money will be rolled out over six years, will not start flowing until at least mid-next year, and it is unclear how much will reach British Columbia. Peter Lister, executive director of the Truck Loggers Association, said the situation is urgent and action is needed immediately. At least 20 mills in the province have shut down permanently or indefinitely in the past three years, which industry leaders attribute to falling lumber prices and American tariffs. Ottawa says CAD 4 billion will go to a "forestry sector accelerator," CAD 2 billion to equipment modernization and CAD 500 million to improving woodfibre supply. Kim Haakstad of the BC Council of Forest Industries said funding alone will not solve root issues, pointing to costly and convoluted federal and provincial regulatory barriers.

Canada's federal budget commits CAD 6.5 billion to forestry over six years, including CAD 3.6 billion in new spending on top of CAD 2.9 billion from the 2025 budget. The funds aim to improve forest management, modernize facilities and shift toward higher-value products. Measures include CAD 500 million to strengthen fibre supply chains, CAD 2 billion through Natural Resources Canada for facility modernization, and CAD 4 billion via a new Export Development Canada accelerator fund for large-scale facilities and products such as biofuels. The budget notes forestry employs about 200,000 workers and contributed CAD 29.7 billion to GDP in 2025, while facing weak markets and a trade war with the U.S. Kim Haakstad, CEO of the Council of Forest Industries, said the sector remains in a deepening crisis, with 21 sawmill closures and some 15,000 jobs lost since 2021, and called for less regulatory duplication between federal and provincial governments.

A review published in Discover Agriculture argues that combining nondestructive testing, artificial intelligence, big data analytics, digital twins and computational pharmacology could replace destructive laboratory checks with rapid, non-invasive assessment of olive oil quality from grove to shelf. Led by Rania I. M. Almoselhy and colleagues, the work synthesizes literature published between 2013 and 2026 and was released as an open-access article on 30 October 2026. The authors note that sensory evaluation, chemical analysis and microbiological testing are accurate but labor-intensive, time-consuming and destructive, requiring specialized facilities and trained personnel, which can delay quality-control decisions in large industrial settings. The review describes near- and mid-infrared and Raman spectroscopy, hyperspectral imaging, X-ray imaging and computed tomography, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and electronic nose and tongue systems. It also notes that machine learning algorithms can classify olive oil by origin, detect adulteration, predict quality grades and estimate parameters such as free fatty acids and peroxide value.

A delegation from South Korea's National Forestry Cooperative Federation (NFCF) visited Mugla in southwestern Türkiye to explore cooperation in sustainable forestry, mushroom cultivation and agricultural cooperatives. The delegation met Mugla Governor Idris Akbiyik, Ahmet Cetiner, head of Türkiye's Central Union of Forestry Cooperatives (OR-KOOP), and Eray Cicek, a senior representative of regional agricultural and forestry cooperative unions. Akbiyik cited Mugla's forestry traditions and cooperative network and said local authorities were working on projects to improve livelihoods of forest-dependent communities and raise product value. At the Mugla Chamber of Commerce and Industry, NFCF President Choi Chang-ho named forest conservation, sustainable management and local community development as key cooperation areas. The delegation also visited the Regional Forestry Directorate and the Provincial Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry for talks on mushroom cultivation and cooperative management. Cicek said Turkish cooperatives hoped to draw on South Korean experience in mushroom farming, with joint projects planned on mushroom production and cooperative organization. The program included the Apimugla apitherapy center, the Gokova Forest Nursery, cooperative facilities, a commemorative tree planting and sweetgum and honey production sites.

Rebecca Wilson, a fifth-generation farmer from the Vale of York and a social media commentator, writes that UK farmers face mounting demands on limited land, which must serve food production, tree planting, housing, renewable energy, biodiversity and carbon storage. The Climate Change Committee estimates that by 2050 about 21% of agricultural land could be needed for carbon sequestration. Wilson notes that average return on capital employed for farms in 2023-24 was -0.8%, so forestry may be a viable diversification option where land, system and business structure allow, and could help keep a farm intact for the next generation. She stresses that forestry is a long-term enterprise whose decisions outlast those who make them. Tree planting on higher land is often restricted to protect wildlife and peatland, while lower land may bring faster growth but raises questions about balance. She says companies such as Tilhill Forestry work directly with farmers to assess where woodland creation might fit.

The Brazilian state of Acre is taking part in the 31st UN Climate Change Conference (COP31), held in Antalya, Turkey, from November 9 to 13, where it is presenting environmental results including a 70% reduction in deforestation between 2021/2022 and 2025/2026. The delegation, led by Governor Mailza Assis, is sharing experiences in forest conservation and building a sustainable economy. Assis attributed the decline to careful planning and coordinated action across government sectors. Acre's program is part of a wider agenda of Legal Amazon state governments coordinated by the Interstate Consortium of the Legal Amazon, with activities at the Amazon Hub in the conference's Blue Zone. The delegation includes representatives of the state planning, environment and indigenous peoples secretariats. Scheduled panels cover strategic projects and investment for a sustainable Amazon, the role of indigenous peoples in the climate agenda, and the link between standing forest, bioeconomy and climate finance. Environment secretary Leonardo Carvalho stressed connecting environmental protection with social development, noting that lower deforestation and heat hotspots contribute to global climate goals.

Chile's National Forestry Corporation (CONAF) reported a forest fire in the Pozas Verdes area of Machalí, in the O'Higgins region, with a preliminary burned area of 6.25 hectares. To fight the blaze, CONAF deployed five brigades, two helicopters, one tanker aircraft and three technicians, and set up a command post. Machalí mayor Juan Carlos Abud told 24 Horas that the fire is burning in a hard-to-reach ravine near kilometer 19, complicating containment efforts. CONAF confirmed on social media that the same resources remain in place. The burned area is still preliminary and may be updated. For the forestry and forest products sector, the report shows that ground and aerial resources were mobilized early, and the figures on area and resources provide a basis for assessing timber losses and planning reforestation.

The Administrative Court of Norte de Santander, Colombia, admitted on October 28, 2026 a popular action filed by the Fundación para el Estado de Derecho (FEDe. Colombia), seeking measures from national government entities to address environmental threats to the Catatumbo Barí National Natural Park. The park covers about 160,684 hectares across the municipalities of Convención, El Carmen, Teorama, El Tarra and Tibú. The complaint says illegal crops, cattle ranching, illegal mining and deforestation are expanding, endangering natural resources and ecological balance, while attacks on critical infrastructure such as the Caño Limón-Coveñas oil pipeline have caused crude spills affecting water sources used by the Barí Indigenous community. Defendants include the ministries of Justice, Defense, Environment, and Agriculture, the Territorial Renewal Agency, the Attorney General's Office, the national parks unit and the Colombian Agricultural Institute. The action asks them to adopt urgent measures to curb environmental crimes and restore damaged areas.

Brazil's Forest Code (Law 12651 of May 25, 2012) is described as the world's strictest law of its kind, built over a long period and many public hearings, with rural producers accepting its tough rules more readily than environmentalists, who sought further restrictions. The author questions the scientific basis for legal reserve percentages—80% in the Amazon and 20% in the South and Southeast—but says the law exists and must be enforced. The article focuses on the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR), which remains unimplemented 14 years after the law took effect. CAR is presented as the legal infrastructure linking rural production, native vegetation protection, land and environmental regularization, and economic incentives, and is expected to become a condition for credit and access to more sophisticated markets. More producers are completing CAR, but over 1 million registries analyzed by public agencies have not been confirmed by property holders and therefore have no practical effect. The author urges farm representative bodies and state governments to expand effective CAR registrations so the environmental and land situation is known, and calls on governments to reward and support those who comply rather than punish those who erred.

Spain's Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food has defended the temporary withdrawal of 12% of this season's olive oil production, calling it "absolutely necessary, timely and grounded in European law." Minister Luis Planas made the remarks at the First Oil Festival in Úbeda, Jaén, saying the priority is to keep the whole sector profitable and prevent a price collapse caused by oversupply. The measure was formally published in the Official State Gazette through the Directorate General for Agricultural Production and Markets. Forecasts point to a 1.6 million-tonne harvest which, added to 357,000 tonnes carried over from the previous campaign, puts total available volume at around two million tonnes. Planas said the withdrawal responds to a request from farm organizations and agri-food cooperatives and focuses on traditional olive groves, a model key to rural areas and population retention but with notably higher operating costs than intensive plantations. He said the regulation will not raise retail prices and warned distributors against speculation. The mechanism sits within the EU Common Market Organization rules for serious market imbalances. He also cited export potential, with more than one million tonnes shipped abroad last year, and noted China's tariff cut from 10% to 5% plus EU trade frameworks with Mercosur and India.

Peruvian ecologist David Landa, a member of the Moyobamba 500 Años collective, said Peru has the world's ninth-largest forest area yet imported US$438 million of wood in 2025 while exporting only US$65.6 million, buying nearly seven times more than it sells. Speaking on the Reflexiones Amazónicas segment of Red de Comunicación Regional, he noted that about 14 million hectares are designated for forestry production and 7.2 million hectares are suitable for commercial plantations, but only around 140,000 hectares are actually planted. Imports come mainly from Chile, China and Ecuador. Landa attributed the gap to a lack of policy to develop domestic forestry production, citing negligence, limited knowledge of the territory and excessive protectionism. He called for prioritizing native species over introduced ones such as teak and melina, pointing to balsa, which matures commercially in seven or eight years and is used in wind turbine blades and light aircraft components; its trade attracted Chinese businessmen arriving from Ecuador and operating in San Martín and Loreto, where illegal extraction networks were detected. He also cited tornillo, which takes 20 to 25 years to mature but offers higher returns through processing, at 9 to 12 soles per board foot and up to 40% more if dried. He warned that illegal logging uses forged documents and laundered products reaching coastal markets and exports, estimating that about 70% or more of exported wood may be illegal, a claim requiring verification.

Brazil's government approved a national plan to end deforestation and restore degraded forests by 2030, during November 6 meetings of the Interministerial Committee on Climate Change and the National Energy Policy Council. Authorities also set the procedure for drafting a separate program to gradually reduce the economy's dependence on oil, gas and coal, to be completed within 270 days of appointing a working group, with a possible 90-day extension. The forest plan covers four areas: forest conservation and sustainable use, restoration of degraded ecosystems, combating illegal logging and fires, and economic measures to curb even legally permitted vegetation clearing. Official data show annual deforestation fell 71.2% in the Brazilian Amazon and 48.4% in the Cerrado savannas between 2022 and 2026. On energy, the council approved 18 principles covering security, employment, public revenue, energy costs, technology and social impacts; the document will undergo public consultation. Renewables supplied 49.5% of Brazil's total energy consumption in 2025 and over 80% of electricity generation.

The government of Mato Grosso is taking part in COP 31, held in Turkey from November 9 to 20, aiming to strengthen international investors' confidence in carbon credits generated from reductions in deforestation in the state. Governor Otaviano Pivetta is leading the delegation, which is scheduled to meet investors from the Life Coalition, which includes the United Kingdom and Norway and currently holds the largest volume of funds for purchasing carbon reductions. State environment secretary Mauren Lazzaretti said the government is seeking international certification of credits generated in recent years, to demonstrate their credibility and turn sales into more environmental conservation and social inclusion. During the event, the task force of governors from the Legal Amazon Consortium is expected to present measures taken to build the jurisdictional REDD+ model. In Mato Grosso, the process is in its final stage: the governor sent the state legislature a bill authorizing the creation of the Mato Grosso Environmental Assets Company (CMAA), a mixed-economy firm to structure, manage and trade carbon credits, biodiversity credits and other environmental assets. The company is meant to support the state's commitment to net-zero emissions by 2035 and expand national and international investment in the low-carbon economy. The delegation will also join debates on climate risks, forest fire control, the forest economy and environmental crime, staying until November 18.

Brazil's Senate Science, Technology and Innovation Committee approved Bill 1,297/2026 on November 4, providing for the use of artificial intelligence, drones and sensors in environmental enforcement and the restoration of degraded areas. The proposal creates the National Policy for Intelligent Monitoring and Ecological Restoration, aimed at improving the identification of deforestation, forest fires and other environmental damage. A key instrument is the National Digital Environmental Evidence System (Snead), which will gather data from satellites, sensors, drones and AI systems. The platform is to issue early warnings on fires, deforestation and other risks, monitor wildlife and provide information to verify carbon credits and biodiversity assets. It will be run by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change and draw on existing databases, including those of the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) and the Rural Environmental Registry (CAR). The text also provides for real-time algorithmic analysis of images and sounds to detect signs of degradation, and for digital twins—virtual models reproducing ecosystems to simulate impacts and restoration scenarios. It sets rules to protect personal data and Indigenous, Quilombola and traditional communities, requiring privacy safeguards and consultation with affected communities. AI-generated alerts would be complementary and could not alone justify penalties without human validation. For restoration, the bill foresees drones for seed dispersal, mechanized planting and sensors to monitor ecosystem development. Authored by Senator Jader Barbalho (MDB-PA), the bill now goes to the Senate Environment Committee.

A farming community of 226 families in Mashue, in Chile's Los Ríos Region, is restoring native forest to protect its water sources. The area lies about 25 km from La Unión, in a rain-shadow strip receiving only around 1,000 mm of rainfall a year, compared with some 2,500 mm in nearby Valdivia. In 1998 the community's shallow hand-dug wells dried up completely. In 2013, after a long process, residents formed a rural drinking water committee (CAPR) to pipe potable water to households, and the community assembly agreed to charge itself an ecosystem services fee to fund native forest restoration in the micro-watersheds feeding its water sources. The article links the water collapse to the forestry model begun in the 1970s under Decree Law 701, which subsidized clearing native forest for industrial pine and eucalyptus plantations; 20% of the local area is held by forestry companies. Climate scientist Jonathan Barichivich of France's CNRS says these fast-growing species act as suction pumps on groundwater. The community also works on agroecology, environmental education and hydrological monitoring.

Brazil's federal government approved a "Map of the Path" plan to halt and reverse deforestation and forest degradation by 2030 at the sixth ordinary meeting of its Interministerial Committee on Climate Change (CIM) in Brasília. The strategy combines conservation, restoration and measures against deforestation and forest fires, and foresees economic mechanisms to reduce legal vegetation clearing, along with stronger financing, technical assistance, institutional capacity and governance, plus expanded market access and incentives for innovation and technology. The government says annual deforestation rates fell 71.2% in the Legal Amazon and 48.4% in the Cerrado between 2022 and 2026. In Mato Grosso do Sul, MapBiomas Alerta recorded 24,079.66 hectares under deforestation alerts between September 2025 and September 2026, with the Cerrado accounting for 15,180.76 hectares and the Pantanal 8,972.21 hectares; Corumbá ranked first among municipalities with 6,105.34 hectares. MapBiomas noted that alerts are not confirmation of deforestation by enforcement agencies. The committee also set guidelines for Brazil's regulated carbon market and capped international transfers of mitigation results at 50 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent for 2026-2030 and 100 million tonnes for 2031-2035.

Spain's Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Luis Planas, warned olive oil market operators against exploiting the government's temporary withdrawal of 188,000 tonnes of product, which is intended to regulate supply and curb falling producer prices. He said no one should use the situation to speculate and raise prices, adding that the government will monitor the market to prevent abuse. The measure follows a resolution published Friday in the Official State Gazette activating a mandatory storage mechanism for the 2026/2027 olive campaign. Mills must temporarily withdraw 12% of their olive oil output, about 188,000 tonnes across the campaign. Storage may take place in own or third-party facilities and applies to production declared from November 2026, not to oil produced in October or in earlier campaigns. The product must remain stored until September 30, 2027, unless application conditions change. Speaking in Úbeda, Jaén, Planas said the measure was technically calculated to protect producers' margins, especially small growers, and described its impact on retail prices as neutral.

Spanish Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Minister Luis Planas said the publication of the conditions for activating the olive oil withdrawal mechanism aims to stabilize prices and protect small traditional olive growers as well as consumers. In an interview, he said 12% of the season's production plus carryover stock, about 188,000 tonnes, would be withdrawn to prevent lower-margin production models such as traditional olive growing from falling into losses and causing serious problems. He described the measure as temporary and exceptional, and said it could be adjusted during the campaign if prices and sales volumes improve. Planas said the rule is authorized by the European Commission, respects competition and takes into account the crop's alternate-bearing pattern. He said calculations indicate the measure will not affect consumer prices in supermarkets. He also cited government aid to the primary sector totaling nearly 2 billion euros and new tax measures for agricultural activities.

Spain has decided to require olive oil producers to store part of their output in order to prevent prices from falling sharply after a record harvest. Under a rule published Friday (Nov. 6) in the Official State Gazette, each olive milling and pressing facility, known as a lagar, must hold 12% of its monthly declared production in its own or rented warehouses. The measure, set by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, takes effect immediately this November and will remain in force until September 2027. It is intended to curb excess supply that was pushing prices down and to keep the market stable through the main harvest seasons. Official documents project production of 1,602,596 tonnes for the 2026/2027 season, the basis for the government's decision to intervene directly in olive oil flows. Spain is the world's largest olive oil producer.

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will seek new funding for the Tropical Forests Forever Facility (TFFF) at the COP31 leaders' summit in Turkey. The Brazil-created fund has about US$7.8 billion in commitments and aims to reach US$10 billion by the end of 2026, leaving a gap of US$2.2 billion. Lula departs on Nov. 9, 2026, and will attend the summit opening on Nov. 11 and a forests event. The TFFF, launched at COP30 in Belém, rewards countries that conserve tropical forests, with Norway and Germany among leading contributors. Britain and the Netherlands have announced contributions expected to be formalized during the conference. Representatives from Brazil, Norway, Britain, Guyana and Congo will join the forests meeting to link different preservation mechanisms. The US$10 billion public-capital threshold triggers activation of the fund; Norway, the largest donor with US$3 billion, set a Dec. 31 deadline. The long-term goal is a US$125 billion ecosystem, with US$25 billion from governments and US$100 billion from the international private sector.

A forest fire broke out in the community of El Vaquero in Matehuala, in Mexico's San Luis Potosi state. Residents called the emergency number for help as the blaze threatened to spread. Civil Protection personnel, a CONAFOR brigade from Matehuala and local community members responded. Specialized tools including backpack sprayers were used, and the fire was brought under control. The report gives conflicting figures on the burned area: one passage says hundreds of hectares were affected, while another says about 500 square meters were consumed. The quick response and coordination between emergency agencies and community members prevented further spread. With the area in its dry season, authorities urged people to avoid agricultural, trash and grassland burning, not to discard cigarettes or lit matches, not to leave campfires unattended and not to throw glass bottles in vacant lots or natural areas.

Olive mills in Andalusia have started producing extra virgin olive oil in a new campaign. The Spanish agriculture ministry's first harvest estimate points to a medium-to-high national crop, 23% above the previous season if forecasts hold, with Andalusia expected to account for 1,261,200 tonnes, or 78.7% of the national total. In Arahal, Seville province, where 60,000 to 70,000 tonnes of olives are produced annually, one mill opens at 4 a.m. to receive fruit from the fields; after washing, crushing, mixing, centrifugation and the addition of clean water, oil can be obtained in just over two hours, then bottled and checked bottle by bottle. Andalusia's regional government forecasts 142,000 tonnes of oil for Seville province. The Oleoestepa cooperative groups 19 member mills across Seville, Córdoba and Málaga, representing more than 7,500 farming families and some 62,000 hectares of olive groves.

Indonesia's Ministry of Forestry reported that high-confidence hotspots nationwide fell to 55 as of 21:00 local time on 6 November 2026, down 283 from 338 the previous day. In the six priority fire-control provinces, hotspots dropped from 86 to 14, with nine in Jambi and five in South Sumatra, while Central, West and South Kalimantan and Riau recorded none. Central Kalimantan showed the largest change, from 85 to zero. The ministry said the trend was positive but did not justify ending operations, since conditions must be verified by patrols and ground checks. In Central Kalimantan, smoke and fire persisted at Tanjung Taruna and Jabiren, including surface and underground peat fires, and work continued in Palangka Raya. Fires were declared out or safe in Kuala Pembuang and parts of Tanjung Puting National Park. In South Sumatra, a fire in Banyuasin was extinguished, while peat fires remained in Ogan Komering Ilir. The ministry stressed that zero hotspots do not mean fires are out, as embers can smolder underground in peat.

The head of Russia's Federal Forestry Agency, Ivan Sovetnikov, said the active phase of the country's forest fire season has ended. According to him, no active forest fires remained in Russia on 6 November, although forest monitoring and the readiness of firefighting units continue. He said the first forest fire of 2026 was registered on 16 February in Primorsky Krai, and that fire protection work runs almost year-round, with firefighting lasting nine to ten months and the remaining time used for preparation. He linked this year's difficulties partly to climatic factors. However, the agency's operational bulletin for that day listed two fires still being extinguished on forest fund land in one region, covering 5 hectares in total. The same news feed had reported no active forest fires on 2–4 November. The agency continues to monitor the fire situation.

The Legislative Assembly of Paraná (Alep) will hold a public hearing on Tuesday the 10th at 9:30 a.m. in its small plenary hall on "New Forest Code – Impacts of Bill 80/2026 on Paraná's environmental policy." The bill, introduced by the Ratinho Jr. government, proposes changes to state environmental policy and would establish a new forest code for the state. The hearing was convened by state deputies Goura (PDT) and Arilson Chiorato (PT) to broaden discussion of the bill's environmental, social and economic effects; researchers, socio-environmental entities and civil society organizations have criticized the proposal. It is the second time the assembly has debated the bill, following a March 26 public meeting focused on technical and scientific analysis. Goura said the proposal is closer to an agricultural code than environmental legislation and warned of loosened rules protecting native vegetation and conflicts with federal law, especially the Atlantic Forest Law. Invited participants include the state sustainable development secretariat, the Água e Terra Institute, Ibama, Crea-PR, CRBio-07, OAB-PR, research groups and laboratories at the Federal University of Paraná, rural workers' organizations, MST, SPVS and agribusiness federations.

A study published in Urban Ecosystems quantified the aboveground biomass, carbon stock and an indicative economic valuation of a 2.76-hectare tiny forest in a small city in southeastern Brazil. The authors note that urban forests are increasingly viewed as nature-based solutions, yet quantitative information on aboveground biomass and carbon stock in small remnant urban forest patches remains limited, especially in small cities. Using the tiny forest as a case study, the research applied methods including biomass allometric equations to assess carbon storage and provided an estimate of its economic value. The work offers case data for carbon accounting and valuation of urban green spaces in small municipalities.

In Jiaowuying village, Jiulong town, Luquan Yi and Miao autonomous county, Kunming, about 300 mu of Gastrodia elata is growing under forest canopy. A team from the Yunnan key laboratory for protection and utilization of under-forest resources, drawing on Southwest Forestry University research, developed an ecological planting method that replaces felled wood with fungus bags, cutting the traditional two-and-a-half-year growing cycle to 10 months. The team also linked with Yunnan Baiyao Group and other companies to secure purchase channels and develop processed products such as Gastrodia oral liquid. Luquan state-owned capital investment and development group is building a fungus stick plant, a fresh-processing plant and cold-chain storage, with residents earning income through forest land transfers and local employment. The company plans to expand planting through cooperatives and village collectives, while the county forestry and grassland bureau develops diversified under-forest businesses including medicinal plants, vegetables and flowers. The university also trains forestry students through project-based work in the field and runs technical training across Yunnan to cultivate local industry leaders.

Yunnan's emergency management department said on November 6 that average rainfall across the province since September 1 had reached only 79.4 millimeters, 64.3 percent below the usual level for the period. Combined with a super El Niño, the coming winter and spring are expected to bring sustained high temperatures and little rain, with abundant combustible material under the forest canopy and more outdoor production fires, keeping fire risk ratings high. With provincial government approval, Yunnan entered its 2027 forest and grassland fire prevention period on November 15, 2026. The provincial fire prevention command has ordered local authorities to implement the forest chief system and strengthen local management, industry supervision and the responsibility of forest operators. Key sites such as villages at forest edges, scenic areas, forest work sites and power line corridors will be managed through lists, with checkpoints at main mountain entrances and forest-edge roads to register entrants and collect ignition sources. Burning for fertilizer, smoking, campfires and burning incense or paper at graves are banned in prevention zones, and production fires require approval and on-site supervision. From November 15, emergency, forestry, police and fire rescue departments began 24-hour joint duty, with strict rules requiring all fires to be reported and no concealment or delay.

The seventh Hubei provincial forest firefighting vocational skills competition opened on November 5 in Chibi, drawing 18 emergency-response and forestry teams from cities and forest districts across the province, with hundreds of firefighters taking part over two days. The event is built around the practical needs of fighting forest fires and includes five disciplines: a written theory exam, a firefighting equipment drill, a water-pump relay, a weighted cross-country run and drone-based firebombing. Organizers said the competition, held at the start of the winter-spring fire season, is meant to test and strengthen local forest firefighting teams, combining traditional skills with technology use and supporting efforts to prevent and control forest fire risks.

On November 6, villagers in Pengping village, Lixian county, Hunan province, picked camellia oleifera fruit in a camellia plantation and manually shelled the fruit at a storage center run by the Junxin camellia planting cooperative. According to the report, Lixian county has in recent years used national forestry industry projects to support camellia cultivation in hilly areas. The approach has put idle collective land to use, strengthened the collective economy and created local jobs and income for villagers. For the forestry and forest products sector, the case shows how national forestry industry projects can promote woody oilseed planting in mountainous areas while linking land use, collective economic development and rural employment and income.

The Scottish Greens welcomed the Scottish Government's decision to keep Scottish Forestry as a stand-alone executive agency. The Programme for Government 2026-27 had proposed that Scottish Forestry could be merged with Sepa, NatureScot and Zero Waste Scotland as part of the government's public sector reform programme. However, the Cabinet Secretary for Climate Action said on Friday that the merger would not go ahead and that Scotland would retain its dedicated forestry agency. Scottish Greens MSP Ariane Burgess said she was glad the government had listened to stakeholders' concerns and that Scottish Forestry would continue as a stand-alone agency. She said the forestry sector is a major contributor to the Scottish economy, sustains thousands of jobs and is critical to delivering long-term climate goals. She added that it is also critical to nature restoration, biodiversity and meeting ambitious targets to plant new trees.

Sebastian Kepfer-Rojas, an associate professor at the University of Copenhagen, says European forests face two environmental crises—climate and biodiversity—but these goals need not be pursued in the same place. Forests managed for carbon storage are often planted with a single species in neat rows and felled after their fastest growth phase, when carbon uptake is highest, before new trees are planted. This is effective for storing carbon and producing timber for industry, but does little for biodiversity. Kepfer-Rojas notes that Europe's forest area has grown over the past 30 years, yet around 80% of assessed European forests have an unfavorable conservation status. Many are too homogeneous, too densely planted and harvested all at once, so trees never die and fall naturally. High biodiversity requires variation in tree size and a mix of living and dead trees. Denmark has decided to leave large parts of state-owned forests unmanaged, and the Green Tripartite Agreement points to converting farmland into untouched forest where trees die and fall naturally, creating habitats for fungi, insects and bats. In some places trees are deliberately damaged to speed up habitat formation for specific species.

The Durham Conservation Commission in Connecticut is moving to accept a state forestry grant for Curtis Woodlands. At a Nov. 3 special meeting, commissioners reviewed eight conditions in an award letter from the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, including protecting new plantings from deer and clarifying which project expenses qualify for funding. The commission agreed to revise the project budget to include deer protection and other items flagged by the state; Chair Philip Augur also plans to ask the state about expenses deemed ineligible. A revised budget is due Nov. 13, the same day the town must confirm receipt of the award letter and its intent to accept the grant. By Dec. 4, Durham must also verify contact information, complete a risk assessment, submit federal Form AD-1048, provide an authorizing resolution and furnish a certificate of insurance. The Board of Selectmen is expected to take up the grant Nov. 16. Commissioners also discussed which tasks the commission's two certified foresters could handle and whether technical fieldwork such as tree marking and practice monitoring should go to an outside forester, and weighed adding a contingency allowance to the budget.

Spain has ordered olive oil mills to store 12% of the production they report each month from November 2026, temporarily removing some oil from the market to regulate supply. The measure, published in Spain's Official State Gazette, excludes output declared for October and earlier months. Stored oil must remain off the market until 30 September 2027, the end of the season. The decision comes as Spain expects a strong harvest and already holds high stocks: opening stocks were 357,040 tonnes and production is forecast at 1,602,596 tonnes. The government can withdraw oil when opening stocks plus expected output are at least 20% above the average of the previous six seasons; this season's figures met that condition, and the agriculture ministry expects about 188,000 tonnes to be taken off the market. Spanish producers were getting around €3 per kilo for extra virgin olive oil in early November, down from about €4 a year earlier, according to El País. The ministry says Spain is the world's largest olive oil producer and exporter, with about 45% of global and 70% of EU production. The move coincides with a major deal: Spanish firms Dcoop and Acesur have agreed to acquire Deoleo Holding, a subsidiary of listed group Deoleo, valuing it at €520mn including debt and covering a 91.99% stake. Buyers could reach 100% if remaining shareholders join; Acesur said both plan equal stakes. The deal needs regulatory approvals and a shareholder vote. Deoleo shares closed 21.1% lower on Thursday.

Spain ordered olive oil producers on Nov 6 to withdraw 12% of their output from the market and store it until September 2027, aiming to prevent a bumper harvest from pushing prices down. The agriculture ministry said about 188,000 tonnes of olive oil would be removed from the market to regulate supply and stabilise the sector. Spain is the world's largest olive oil producer, accounting for roughly 40% of global output, according to the International Olive Council. Mild temperatures and abundant spring rainfall have created favourable conditions for what is expected to be Spain's fourth-largest harvest on record, with the ministry forecasting 1.6 million tonnes in the 2026-27 season, up 23% from the previous season. The 12% requirement applies to each mill's cumulative monthly production regardless of category, and producers may choose which type to store and whether to use their own or external facilities. The government said the measure, which farming associations had lobbied for, could be modified from Dec 31 depending on production. Agriculture Minister Luis Planas, visiting a cooperative in Andalusia, said traditional olive groves are vital but face high production costs, and prices falling below a threshold can create profitability problems; the measure had never been applied before. The market has recovered from low production caused by drought and heatwaves in the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons, when prices hit records and many households switched to cheaper alternatives such as sunflower oil.

The government of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva approved on Friday, November 6, 2026, guidelines for a national energy transition roadmap meant to guide a gradual reduction of dependence on fossil fuels, and on the same date approved a national roadmap to halt and reverse deforestation and forest degradation by 2030. The first comes from the National Energy Policy Council (CNPE); the second from the Interministerial Committee on Climate Change (CIM). Both will be presented at COP31 in Antalya, Turkey. The documents respond to a demand made during COP30 in Belém, whose final text omitted any reference to moving away from fossil fuels despite support from more than 80 countries; Brazil's presidency then committed to preparing international roadmaps on its own, and Lula called for national plans. The CNPE resolution sets no targets or deadlines for reducing fossil fuel use, only guidelines for drafting the roadmap. The government says renewables accounted for 49.5% of Brazil's energy matrix in 2025, versus a global average of 14.5% in 2023, and more than 80% of its electricity matrix. The CNPE also approved the National Energy Transition Plan (Plante) and signed a rule requiring prior environmental assessment for auctions of new oil areas. The CIM approved the forest roadmap to accelerate existing goals and plans. Citing INPE's Prodes satellite monitoring, the government said deforestation fell 71.2% in the Legal Amazon and 48.4% in the Cerrado between 2022 and 2026, and net emissions dropped about 560 million tons between 2022 and 2024. The committee also set guidelines for the regulated carbon market, capping sales of carbon credits to other countries at 50 million tons for 2026-2030 and 100 million tons for 2031-2035.

The Public Prosecutor's Office of Mato Grosso state, Brazil, has filed a lawsuit against the owners of Fazenda Dois Amigos in Feliz Natal, about 536 km from Cuiabá, for continuing agricultural activity and blocking native forest regeneration on 532.2 hectares that had been under an environmental embargo since 2016. Prosecutor Maisa Fidelis Gonçalves Pyrâmides signed the public civil action on the 28th. Satellite images and on-site inspections indicated that soybean cultivation continued in the area at least since 2021. The office is seeking to freeze assets of up to 3.08 million reais, suspend activities and require recovery of the degraded area. The property is registered under Joconda Rosa Pescinelli, while her husband Valderei Pescinelli is identified as the owner; Ibama issued two infraction notices. Material damages from irregular exploitation are estimated at 3,081,170 reais, excluding ecosystem service losses and moral damages. Prosecutors also requested blocking of bank accounts and vehicles, identification of registered real estate and restrictions on corporate holdings, plus an urgent ban on economic exploitation of areas illegally cleared after July 22, 2008.

The World Resources Institute (WRI) Indonesia and the Jakarta chapter of the Alliance of Independent Journalists (AJI Jakarta) launched a book, "Legal Corridor in the Nusantara Jungle," at a discussion in Jakarta. The book compiles in-depth reporting by 10 journalists selected under a fellowship on environmental crime, particularly in forestry. Kenny Cetera, a forest legality analyst at WRI Indonesia, said transparency and accountability in forest governance require not only data and policy but also independent, evidence-based journalism that traces problems, identifies those involved and ensures findings are followed up. AJI Jakarta chair Irsyan Hasyim said he hopes the findings push law enforcement to tackle forest crime at its roots, citing illegal mining inside forests as one example. Journalists Betty Herlina and Nany Afrida presented reporting on a conflict of more than a decade between farmers and PT Agro Bengkulu Selatan; the Pino Raya community forum recorded at least 30 farmers criminalized since 2019, including five shot and three named as assault suspects. Barita Simanjuntak of the forest area control task force said authorities have taken over concession permits, while Siti Rakhma Mary Herwati of Jentera School of Law said revoked permits were merely transferred to state-owned firms.

Brazilian President Lula said Brazil will present practical proposals at COP31 to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and achieve zero deforestation, and that he will press other countries to act. The government approved the National Energy Transition Plan and a roadmap against deforestation, which sets guidelines to halt and reverse forest loss and degradation by 2030. Lula will also bring progress on financing for preservation: the Tropical Forests Forever Fund has raised US$7.8 billion against an initial target of US$10 billion. According to the president, preserving forests can be more profitable than deforesting. The report also said US President Donald Trump named Stephen Miller as chief of staff; the federal assets secretariat temporarily suspended registrations of four properties linked to lawyer Willer Tomaz on Ilha Comprida in Angra dos Reis, including an area claimed by footballer Richarlison; Attorney General Paulo Gonet asked the Supreme Court to nationally suspend cases challenging Lula's ban on betting platforms; Lula wished Paraguay's new president, Pedro Alliana, success and said he hopes to receive him in Brasília; and Senator Flávio Bolsonaro said he told Governor Tarcísio de Freitas he will run if new elections are held.

Brazil's federal government approved on Friday (6) a Roadmap to halt and reverse deforestation and forest degradation by 2030, during the sixth ordinary meeting of the Interministerial Committee on Climate Change in Brasília. The plan has four pillars: forest conservation and sustainable use; forest restoration; combating illegal deforestation and fires; and reducing legal vegetation suppression with associated economic instruments. It calls for expanded financing, technical assistance and policy implementation capacity, and for easier market access and incentives for forest-conservation technologies. Government data show annual deforestation rates fell 71.2% in the Legal Amazon and 48.4% in the Cerrado between 2022 and 2026. Agriculture Minister André de Paula argued that agricultural production should be recognized in emission-reduction strategies. The committee also set guidelines for the regulated carbon market under Law 15,042/2024, which created the Brazilian Emissions Trading System, covering procedures to measure, report and verify greenhouse gas emissions. It capped international transfers of mitigation outcomes under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement at 50 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent for 2026-2030 and 100 million tonnes for 2031-2035. Documents validated at the meeting indicate Brazil's net emissions fell about 560 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent between 2022 and 2024, mainly due to lower deforestation. The results will feed into Brazil's climate agenda presented at COP31 in Turkey.

Brazil's Federal Police led a joint operation against illegal land subdivision, invasions, illegal deforestation, clandestine access roads and irregular occupation in the Porto Dias Agroextractive Settlement Project in Acrelândia, Acre state. The settlement overlaps a federal public forest designated for sustainable forest management authorized by the competent agencies. Participants include Brazil's environmental agency Ibama, land reform agency Incra, the Acre environmental institute Imac, the environmental policing battalion, the special police operations battalion, the border special group, the 4th Military Police Battalion, the Brazilian Army and the Acre military fire brigade. Teams are verifying the area's current situation, identifying and georeferencing recently deforested sites, and locating camps, sheds, machinery and other structures used in illegal activities. The operation also gathers evidence to identify those responsible, financiers and beneficiaries of irregular occupations, supporting police, administrative and judicial measures. This is the fifth Federal Police operation in Porto Dias, an area long targeted due to recurring environmental crimes and land irregularities. Satellite imagery monitoring, geospatial analysis, field surveys and complaints indicate irregular occupations continue, with new access routes opened and deforested areas expanding. Partner agencies are conducting environmental and land enforcement within their mandates and taking administrative measures against confirmed irregularities.

Brazil's federal government approved on November 6 its national roadmap to halt and reverse deforestation and forest degradation by 2030. The document was endorsed at the sixth ordinary meeting of the Interministerial Committee on Climate Change in Brasília and will feed into the climate agenda Brazil presents at COP31 in Antalya, Turkey. It sets four fronts: forest conservation and sustainable use; forest restoration; continued action against illegal deforestation and fires; and reduced legal vegetation clearing backed by economic instruments. It also calls for stronger financing, technical assistance, institutional capacity and governance, plus wider market access and innovation. Citing INPE's Prodes data, the government said renewed Amazon and Cerrado anti-deforestation plans brought annual rates down 71.2% and 48.4% respectively between 2022 and 2026, the lowest in each historical series. From August 2024 to July 2025, deforestation fell 65.4% in the Pantanal, 41.7% in the Pampa, 34.3% in the Caatinga and 15.3% in the Atlantic Forest. The meeting also set guidelines for the Brazilian Emissions Trading System created by Law 15,042/2024 and rules for internationally transferred mitigation outcomes under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.

Brazil approved on November 6 its national roadmap to halt and reverse deforestation and forest degradation by 2030, and hours later the National Energy Policy Council approved 18 guidelines for drafting a second roadmap aimed at gradually reducing dependence on polluting fossil fuels. The decisions came three days after the COP30 presidency presented two global roadmaps and ahead of COP31 in Antalya, Turkey, from November 9 to 21. The forest roadmap, endorsed by the Interministerial Committee on Climate Change, covers four areas: forest conservation and sustainable use, restoration, continued action against illegal deforestation and fires, and reduced legal clearing with economic instruments. According to INPE data, renewed Amazon and Cerrado plans cut annual deforestation 71.2% and 48.4% respectively between 2022 and 2026, the lowest on record. From August 2024 to July 2025, rates fell 65.4% in the Pantanal, 41.7% in the Pampa, 34.3% in the Caatinga and 15.3% in the Atlantic Forest. Net emissions fell about 560 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent between 2022 and 2024. Environmental groups welcomed the fossil fuel resolution but stressed it sets guidelines for a plan, not the plan itself.

Spain's government has ordered, for the first time, that 12% of olive oil production be withdrawn from the market to curb falling prices. The Agriculture Ministry published the resolution in the official gazette on Friday, requiring mills to hold back about 188,000 tonnes of oil, which cannot be sold until 30 September 2027. The move has divided the sector. Farmers, who had long sought such intervention, welcomed it as a historic step to secure profitability, with oil prices around three euros per kilo. Packers rejected the decision and said they would appeal, while warnings emerged that the cost could reach supermarket prices. The ministry forecasts 2026/2027 output of 1,602,596 tonnes, up 23% year on year and the fourth-highest on record, with opening stocks of 357,040 tonnes, up 23.3%. The rules allowed withdrawing up to 20%, but the ministry set the rate at 12%; each mill must store its share monthly from November without compensation for storage costs.

Mario Ravettino, president of the Argentine Meat Exporters Consortium (ABC), highlighted the strong institutional presence of Argentina's meatpacking sector at the SIAL fair in Paris and warned about the challenges posed by the entry into force of European Union Regulation 1115. The entity took part in the fair with a delegation of 30 companies authorized to export to the EU. In an exclusive interview with TodoAgro, Ravettino said cattle producers remain unaware of the scope of the traceability system and warned that those unable to prove their land is deforestation-free will be excluded from that market. The requirement directly affects Argentina's beef export chain, since sales to Europe depend on complete traceability information showing the product is not linked to deforestation.

The planning office of Chía, Colombia, upheld a construction permit through Resolution 7855 of October 22, originally issued on July 16 to Inversiones El Antiguo Darién S.A.S. The license covers a two-story owner-occupied home plus a gatehouse and technical rooms on lot 5.1 of the Encenillos de Sindamanoy development in Yerbabuena village, with 1,432.52 square meters of built area. After residents appealed, the office changed the wording from "single-family home in condominium" to "owner's home – single-family home" and barred use of the permit for multiple dwellings, lot subdivision, a new horizontal property regime or work on common assets. The request to revoke the permit entirely was denied, and conditions on water protection, vegetation cover, waste management and environmental compensation remain. Recommendations from the environmental authority on wildlife-permeable fencing, living hedges and ecological corridor restoration are no longer permit conditions but recommendations to the holder. The site lies in the Bogotá River upper basin forest reserve; 71.64 hectares were removed from the reserve in 2013.

Mexico's Federal Environmental Protection Agency (Profepa) reported on Nov 6 that inspections and follow-up visits across Quintana Roo between Oct 20 and 29 found 331.901 hectares of forest vegetation affected by land clearing, road opening and works lacking environmental authorisation. Profepa imposed 25 temporary total closures on 25 parcels in the San Isidro Poniente ejido in José María Morelos municipality, plus one closure on a property in Cancún and one on a project next to Bacalar Lagoon. In San Isidro Poniente, clearing affected low sub-evergreen forest and medium sub-evergreen forest: 304.863 hectares across 22 parcels inspected on Oct 21 and 24.94 hectares across three parcels inspected on Oct 29. None of the sites proved authorisation from the Environment and Natural Resources Secretariat (Semarnat) for land-use change on forest land. According to local residents, the clearing may have been carried out by members of a Mennonite group in the region; this information and the status of ejido and usufruct rights will be reviewed in the administrative proceedings. On Oct 20, Profepa visited a property next to Bacalar Lagoon in Othón P. Blanco to follow up on an environmental impact case involving the Restaurante Los Rápidos project and ordered the closure of its works and activities. On Oct 23, an inspection in the southern polygon of Cancún, Benito Juárez municipality, found total removal of secondary medium sub-evergreen forest on 20,980 square metres, or 2.098 hectares, without federal authorisation, leading to a temporary total closure. Profepa documented conditions at all sites and will continue proceedings to determine responsibilities, sanctions and restoration measures.

More than 7,400 ethnic minority households protect forests in Thai Nguyen - Voice of Vietnam portal. On November 6, the Ethnic Affairs Committee's supervisory delegation of the Thai Nguyen Provincial People's Council visited the provincial Department of Agriculture and Environment to oversee work on forest management, protection and development linked with socio-economic development in ethnic minority and mountainous areas. According to the department's report, between July 1, 2025 and July 30, 2026, a total of 8,119 households in the province took part in forest protection, of which 7,428 were ethnic minority households. Relevant forestry support policies are tied to poor households, ethnic minorities, communities and residents living near forests, and are implemented in an integrated manner with national target programs such as new rural construction and sustainable poverty reduction. The area of concentrated afforestation in 2026 initially reached more than 106% of the plan, up more than 15% year on year, while large-diameter timber forests, sustainable forest management and forest certification continue to receive attention. The department also proposed prioritizing funding for forest land allocation and leasing, digitalization of land and forestry data, and investment in smart cameras and drones for monitoring special-use and protection forests that are difficult to access.

Russia's Federal Forestry Agency reported on November 6 that forest users have planted 326,300 hectares against compensation reforestation obligations totaling 434,800 hectares since the mechanism was introduced in 2019, or about 75% of the total, leaving roughly 108,500 hectares outstanding. Some 6.8% of obligations are overdue, while deadlines have not yet expired for another 18.2%; the agency separated actual violations from work companies may still complete on time. Yelena Busygina, head of the agency's forest protection and reproduction department, said claims and litigation are under way against debtors and that regional compliance checks are continuing, with documents from 2026 inspections being prepared for law enforcement. The mechanism applies notably to logging for mining and infrastructure projects, requiring reforestation on an area matching the cleared stands. Since 2021, obligations may also be fulfilled in another region with agency approval; 47,600 hectares have been relocated, including 1,100 hectares to Kalmykia and over 10,500 hectares to the Baikal natural territory, including Irkutsk region and Buryatia.

Spain's Agriculture Ministry said on Friday, November 6, that olive oil producers must withdraw 12% of their output from the market and store it until September 2027 to keep an abundant harvest from pushing prices down. The measure covers about 188,000 tonnes of olive oil and aims to regulate supply and improve and stabilize the market and the sector, the ministry said. Mild temperatures and heavy spring rains set up what Spain expects to be its fourth-largest harvest on record; the ministry forecasts 1.6 million tonnes in the 2026/27 season, up 23% from the previous one. The 12% storage requirement applies to each mill's accumulated monthly production regardless of olive oil category, and producers may choose which type to store and whether to use their own or third-party facilities. The government said the measure could be adjusted from December 31 depending on production. In October, farm associations had asked for the step immediately, but Agriculture Minister Luis Planas said the government would wait for regional production forecasts to be updated, calling the action extraordinary and never previously applied. Drought and heat waves cut output in 2022/23 and 2023/24, driving record prices and leading many Spanish households to cheaper alternatives such as sunflower oil.

Spain's Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food has decreed mandatory storage of 12 percent of the olive oil output that mills declare each month, in their own or outside facilities, until September 30, 2027. The order, published Friday in the official state gazette, activates for the first time the mechanism for withdrawing olive oil from the market and applies to production declared in November, covering about 188,000 tonnes. The ministry said the aim is to prevent market distortions and ensure stability. Regional estimates point to output of 1,602,596 tonnes in the 2026/2027 season, 23 percent more than the previous one and the fourth-largest on record, after mild temperatures and abundant rain in spring favored flowering and fruit set. Opening stocks total 357,040 tonnes, 23.3 percent above the prior campaign; combined with the new forecast they reach 120 percent of average output over the last six seasons, meeting the criteria for the mechanism. A technical monitoring group will oversee controls, and the resolution may be revised from December 31, 2026 depending on production.

Spain's Ministry of Agriculture has ordered, for the first time, the withdrawal of part of the olive oil production from the market. From this Friday, mills must store 12% of the volume they declare monthly, equivalent to about 188,000 tonnes taken off the market temporarily. The measure comes as origin prices sit at multi-year lows: Poolred data show a 6% drop over the past month, while Infaoliva puts extra virgin olive oil at 3.2 euros per litre and virgin at 2.8 euros, down from 5 euros a year earlier. Official estimates place national output for the campaign at 1,602,596 tonnes, up 22.7% year on year and the fourth-largest on record; with 357,000 tonnes of carry-in stocks, total supply reaches roughly 1.96 million tonnes, indicating oversupply. Agriculture Minister Luis Planas said the withdrawal guarantees adequate returns for farmers. The decision is contested in some quarters but backed by most growers, and aims to stabilise a sector marked by alternating high- and low-yield years.

After a provincial merger, Thai Nguyen province in Vietnam has expanded its forest area, with forest cover now above 61%. However, hundreds of thousands of hectares remain unallocated or unleased across the province, and many households living near forests lack livelihoods. In Yen Thinh commune, in the north of the province, the natural area exceeds 16,580 hectares, of which more than 14,700 are forested; only a small part has been allocated, while over 13,600 hectares remain unassigned or unleased for lack of funding. In 2025 the commune has more than 4,600 hectares of protection forest, of which over 2,750 are managed by families and individuals and the rest by the communal People's Committee, with total funding above 1.7 billion VND. A review found allocation demand of more than 2,044 hectares, including over 1,000 hectares of protection forest and the remainder production forest. The commune is verifying records, correcting discrepancies between land and forest, and holding public consultations before proceeding with allocation and leasing under current rules. Vice-chairman Nong Thanh Hoai said the estimated cost exceeds 4 billion VND and awaits provincial approval. Handing over forest land is expected to clarify management responsibilities and support forest production, income, jobs and sustainable poverty reduction. Phong Quang commune also has more than 11,000 hectares not yet allocated or leased.

Spain's Directorate General for Agricultural Markets approved withdrawing 12% of olive oil production from all mills for the 2026/2027 campaign, effective upon publication in the Official State Gazette (BOE) on November 6. The withdrawn oil must be stored until September 30, 2027, unless the ministry changes that date based on storage results and market stabilization. The Agriculture Ministry estimates the measure covers about 188,000 tonnes. It is backed by European and Spanish rules allowing up to 20% of output to be set aside in surplus harvests to protect origin prices, the amount paid to producers. The ministry says the aim is to guarantee farmers' profitability and protect olive oil buyers, in line with the Common Agricultural Policy's first objective. The withdrawal applies mandatorily to each mill's accumulated monthly output regardless of category; mills producing several types may choose which to withdraw and store in their own or third-party facilities. Origin prices depend on available supply versus demand, so prices rise when output falls and tend to ease when a large harvest is expected.

Spain's government has ordered, for the first time, that part of the olive oil harvest be withdrawn from the market to prevent prices from falling. The Agriculture Ministry published the resolution in the official gazette (BOE) on Friday, requiring mills to store 12% of their output, about 188,000 tonnes, which cannot be sold until 30 September 2027. The measure has split the sector. Farmers, who had sought it for years, call it "historic" and necessary for survival with oil at around three euros per kilo; packers say they will challenge it in court and warn consumers may end up paying. The ministry forecasts production of 1,602,596 tonnes in the 2026/2027 campaign, 23% more than the previous one and the fourth largest on record, plus 357,040 tonnes of opening stocks. The rule allows withdrawing up to 20% of output; the ministry set it at 12%, with no compensation for storage costs. Regional authorities will enforce it, and the ministry will review the percentage from 31 December.

Spain ordered olive oil producers on Friday to withdraw 12% of their output from the market and store it until September 2027, in an attempt to keep an abundant harvest from pushing prices down. The order will take about 188,000 tonnes of olive oil off the market, the Agriculture Ministry said in a statement. The measure "aims to regulate supply to improve and stabilise the functioning of the market and the sector," the ministry said. Mild temperatures and abundant spring rain created favourable conditions for what Spain expects to be its fourth-largest harvest on record. The ministry forecasts production of 1.6 million tonnes in the 2026/27 campaign, up 23% from the previous season. The 12% storage obligation applies to each mill's accumulated monthly production, regardless of olive oil category, and producers may choose which type to store and whether to use their own or external facilities. The government said the measure could be modified from 31 December depending on production trends. In October, farm associations had demanded the measure "immediately," but Agriculture Minister Luis Planas said then that the government would wait for regional authorities to adjust production forecasts. Last month he described it as an "extraordinary measure" never applied before. The market has recovered from a low-production period caused by drought and heatwaves in the 2022/23 and 2023/24 campaigns, when prices soared to record levels and many Spanish households switched to cheaper alternatives such as sunflower oil.

Brazil's Federal Police launched Operation Usurpare V on November 6 to combat illegal occupation, deforestation, clandestine road openings and irregular land subdivision in the Porto Dias Agroextractive Settlement Project in Acrelândia, Acre state. The area overlaps federal public forest and is meant for use under a management plan authorized by the competent agency. Partners include IBAMA, INCRA, Acre's environmental institute IMAC, the environmental policing battalion, the special operations battalion, the border task force GEFRON, the 4th Military Police Battalion, the Brazilian Army and the Acre fire department. Satellite monitoring, geospatial analysis, field surveys and tip-offs indicate irregular occupations continue, with new access routes and expanded cleared areas. Teams are verifying conditions, georeferencing recently deforested land, locating camps, sheds and machinery, and gathering evidence to identify perpetrators, financiers and beneficiaries for police, administrative and judicial measures. It is the fifth Federal Police operation in the project.

A ejido in Chiapas, southern Mexico, has committed 1,398 hectares of rainforest to protection for 99 years. The community, Las Nubes, in the municipality of Maravilla Tenejapa, received certification from Mexico's National Commission of Natural Protected Areas (Conanp) for the La Caverna Voluntary Conservation Area, a forest it was not obliged to protect. Las Nubes is known for its turquoise waterfalls on the Santo Domingo River and for community tourism, and its lands host parrots, macaws and other brightly colored birds. The new area has its own logo featuring the red-capped manakin. The site also records the blue-crowned parrot, royal flycatcher and scarlet macaw. Vegetation is evergreen high rainforest with mahogany, cedar, ramón, chicozapote and other species, plus abundant palms and epiphytes. Located at the entrance to the Lacandon Jungle and bordering several ejidos, Conanp calls it a key biological corridor linking the Lacandon Jungle with the Montes Azules Biosphere Reserve. The area plays a priority role in groundwater recharge and regional climate regulation. Its boundaries include buffer zones of 10- to 15-year-old secondary forest alongside cacao, traditional milpas and low-impact grazing. About 400 Tojolabal, Chol and Mam people live in the ejido.

President Denis Sassou-Nguesso of the Republic of the Congo launched a global "Decade of Afforestation and Forest Restoration" in the country's Ignié area, according to Anadolu Agency. Several African leaders attended the ceremony. Burundi's president, Evariste Ndayishimiye, who also chairs the African Union, presented Sassou-Nguesso with a mango sapling brought from Burundi, and the tree was symbolically planted during the event. Sassou-Nguesso said the decade should reverse deforestation trends and expand forest cover, describing the event as the start of national and international mobilization to protect forests. The United Nations approved the decade in 2025 under sustainable forest management principles; it will run from 2027 to 2036 and aims to help address climate change through afforestation and restoration programs. The decision followed a proposal by the Republic of the Congo. Also present were DRC President Félix Tshisekedi, Central African Republic President Faustin-Archange Touadéra and Khalil Rahman of Bangladesh, president of the 81st UN General Assembly session.

Xinglong Township in Sinan County, Guizhou Province, has more than 7,000 mu of its 12,900-plus mu of camellia oleifera now in production. The Tianshan Village base was a weed-covered slope a few years ago; because the crop requires heavy upfront investment and a long payback period, villagers interplanted sweet potato and soybean under the trees, using income from these short-cycle crops to cover tending costs and create local jobs. Village Party secretary Guo Yuesheng said the intercropping proceeds fill the funding gap. To address steep, narrow mountain paths that made manual carrying slow and costly, the base introduced drones in 2026 with local government support; each drone lifts 150 jin of fruit and reaches the downhill transfer point in under five minutes, nearly doubling daily picking volumes. The township's producing camellia area is expected to yield over 270 tonnes in 2026, with intercropping expanded to more than 3,000 mu and about 9,000 worker-visits generated over the year.
