Description:
Impacts of incentives to reduce emissions from deforestation on global species extinctions Nature Climate Change 2, 350 05022012 doi: 10.1038/nclimate1375 Bernardo B. N. Strassburg Ana S. L. Rodrigues Mykola Gusti Andrew Balmford Steffen Fritz Michael Obersteiner R. Kerry Turner Thomas M. Brooks Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD) has been widely discussed as a way of mitigating climate change while concurrently benefitting biodiversity.
