Deforestation in the next five years will release more CO2 than all aircraft since the Wright Brothers until at least 2025, but unlike almost all other sources of CO2, there are no market based incentives for efforts to reduce deforestation. Considering that forests have many other values on top of carbon storage - conserving biodiversity, generating rainfall, protecting watersheds, and cycling minerals to name a few - while there is little extra value to carbon stored underground by Carbon Capture and Storage for instance.
The Forests NOW declaration calls for new market based mechanisms to protect tropical forests, and end this illogical market failure. Sign it here and keep up to date with all their latest news on their new blog which will be continually updated from Bali.
