Holding Forests to a Higher Standard

Projects that Make a Difference
From Belize to China, the Conservancy is conducting research around the world to measure the amount of carbon captured by forests.

Forest protection, restoration and sustainable forest management is a necessary and important part of any comprehensive approach to decreasing atmospheric CO2 levels and reducing the impacts of climate change.
To make emissions reductions from forest carbon an integral part of a climate change solution, the Conservancy urges policymakers at the state, federal, and international levels to:
