Reversing the trend of Natural Forest Depletion
22/04/2010 01:56
Ecosystem restoration is a new model of conservation and forest management that aims to avoid further deforestation and degradation of Indonesia’s natural forests, hence reversing the current trend of forest degradation and clearance. In addition to preventing further emissions of greenhouse gases from forest degradation, the process would also increase carbon sequestration in the long run as the ecosystem is restored. Given the vast area of production forests that exist in Indonesia, concessions for ecosystem restoration provide a new and innovative way to conserve rainforests and store carbon.
