Bonnie's Forestry Tags
Most of these sites relate to forestry in the United States, so US has not been added as a tag though country name tags have been added for other regions. This is a listing in process. So feel free to make recommendations to me.

FAO Forestry Videos
Watch a short video from the Food and Agriculture Organization on forests and climate change. Click here for more videos from FAO Forestry or go to http://www.fao.org/forestry/52980/en/ such as A Convenient Truth (Parts 1 and 2) produced by FAO of the United Nations and the Forestry Commission of the United Kingdom (description and links below:
"Forests store more carbon than all the worlds remaining oil stocks. Continuing deforestation and forest degradation account for almost one-fifth of the worlds greenhouse gas emissions more than the entire global transport sector. The video explains how society can combat climate change by conserving and managing existing forests, by tackling causes of deforestation and by planting new forests. It stresses the use of wood as a renewable energy source and as a raw material, pointing out that wood products store carbon for their entire lifetime, until they decay or are burned. A section on adaptation notes how the worlds changing climate will affect the health and composition of forests and stresses the importance of adapting and planning ahead for the changes."
