Through this, his research team assessed the major threats to primary forests in the region, with a focus on logging, and quantified the economic value of preserving Angara\u2019s primary forests.<\/p>\n<p>In collaboration with others in the project team, Dr. Rogers developed novel methods for mapping forest stability in Siberia and the Amazon \u2013 a technique that can be applied from landscape to continental scales. He also co-developed a framework for ecosystem integrity to be integrated into global forest and climate policy, and one which would prioritize the protection of primary forests.<\/p>\n<p>More about Brendan<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.woodwellclimate.org\/staff\/brendan-rogers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Woodwell Climate Research Center<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Brendan-Rogers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ResearchGate<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-548-1\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"partner-organisation-block panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-548-1\" ><div id=\"pgc-548-1-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-548-1-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_ipw panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"1\"><div data-post-id=\"85\" class=\"insert-page insert-page-85 \">The Woodwell Climate Research Center is a leading source of climate science that drives the urgent action needed to solve the climate crisis.
