FFI briefing: Why biodiversity matters for carbon storage
... Is carbon protection the same as biodiversity protection? Protection of forests for their carbon value through Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) schemes has been increasing in recent years. These schemes concentrate on preserving forest cover, and thus have great potential ...
