If tropical deforestation were a country, it would rank 3rd after China & the US as an emissions source. This emphasises the importance of effective policies to reverse deforestation.

This article from Frances Seymour explains how developing / emerging countries can fight climate change via protecting their forests including the REDD programme.

In other news - Pakistan has planted more than a billion trees in the last two years as part of an investment to reverse deforestation.
