Summarising the research that underlies the AFRI-CAN project, this paper in the PAGES Magazine highlights how East African mountains support about 6.5 million ha of forests; a fraction of their original extent. Transdisciplinary studies of long-term forest changes help predict future climate and human impacts, and prepare for changes in forest ecosystem services.

Taking a global perspective, the authors of this paper in Cell Reports Sustainability  (including AFRI-CAN team members Rob Marchant, Ignacio Palomo and Aida Cuni-Sanchez) argue for the need to understand mountain futures through the combination of social and biophysical science at a range of spatial and temporal scales, whilst giving adequate consideration to issues of resource governance in order to co-produce future scenarios - principles that underline the transdisciplinary approach adopted by AFRI-CAN.
