Why REDD Works
Did you know that forest destruction produces as much as 17 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions — more than from all the planes, trains and automobiles on Earth? Learn more about how the Conservancy is supporting programs that protect forests by reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD).
