Locally managed tropical forest commons provide multiple benefits, study finds

Scatterplot matrix of benefits—biomass, tree species richness and livelihoods—of 314 forest commons. Biomass and tree species richness are log-transformed. Spearman’s rho for bivariate correlations shows weak associations for biomass–tree species richness (ρ = 0.1989; Prob > |t| = 0.0004) and livelihoods–tree species richness (ρ = 0.2268; Prob > |t| = 0.0001) pairs. There is no relationship between biomass and livelihoods (ρ = −0.0246; Prob > …

Nigeria’s exchange rates unify amid managed float regime

The government had controlled the spot rate for years until last week, keeping it artificially strong and widening the gulf between it and the black-market rate to almost 60 per cent, a put-off for…

Disney Has Managed To Redeem a ‘The Little Mermaid’ Character by Doing the Bare Minimum
