Did you know that an area equivalent to New York City is lost every second day to deforestation? Let’s just think about that for a moment. That’s 1 215 square kilometres of our precious forests, the lungs of the earth, lost to bush fires, large-scale developments and infrastructure, mining and agriculture every other day!
Not only that, but the process of destroying these forests accounts for over 17% of the total greenhouse gasses released into the air, which is a major concern for global warming. Thankfully through proven climate change solutions such as REDD+, there is most definitely still hope for our planet.
Following the global concern surrounding deforestation and climate change, the United Nations created Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+), aimed at reducing the emissions released from deforestation and increasing forest degradation throughout the world.
Although still in the initial phases in Mozambique, Peace Parks’ Community Development Manager for the REDD+ project there, Milva Mandlate, takes us along to some of the meetings that are going on where they are informing the government, the public and local companies about what the REDD+ programme entails.
