Forest is life
The studies conducted by the researchers of the CARE Forest is Life are very diverse, but they all aim to better understand forests and better manage them.
T
he CARE Forest is life aims to study forest ecosystems and, more generally, landscape structures with a low degree of human disturbances, whether in temperate or tropical regions. The research carried out in this CARE is structured in 4 tasks :
- the characterization and monitoring of flora and fauna ;
- the dynamics of forest ecosystems ;
- the management and development of forest socio-ecosystems ;
- the development of woody natural resources and non-timber forest products.
To carry out this work, the CARE relies particularly on "observatory" forests (long-term observation and measurement networks on important geographical rights-of-way) and "laboratory" forests.
The CARE Forest is life aims to be a vibrant hub that offers its members simplified access to diverse field sites, forest monitoring databases, and a range of field and laboratory equipment (see our last activity report). We also host seminars and workshops designed to promote scientific communication and collaboration. Furthermore, we are committed to disseminating research findings across various platforms to maximize their impact.
