Forest Protection

 

Solution:

Strategies to protect forests include:

  • public policy and the enforcement of existing anti-logging laws;

  • market-driven mechanisms, primarily eco-certification programs

  • programs that enable countries and communities to protect their forests.

IMPACT:

 

For each hectare of forest protected, the threat of deforestation and degradation is removed. By protecting as additional 335-466 million hectares of forest, this solution could avoid carbon dioxide emissions totaling 5.5-8.8 gigatons by 2050. Source: Project Drawdown.
