Forests not only provide extraordinary resources, they are also home to an exceptional biodiversity, and play a key role in regulating the world's climate. The January issue of CNRS International Magazine reviews the state of forests worldwide, and the research work performed to protect them.

Also in this issue, a portrait of biologist Jules Hoffmann, whose carrier was crowned with the 2011 Nobel Prize in Medicine; an overview of the new-generation rover Curiosity, heading for Mars; and the latest progress in medical imaging.
