By including six additional years of research, this article more than doubles the evidence base to spatially explicit econometric studies published in peer-reviewed academic journals from toBoxFour Promising Approaches for Stopping Deforestation. Measures to enhance forest conservation and address deforestation need to target areas that are at high risk of deforestation This Plan is designed to address both direct and indirect drivers of deforestation and ecosystem degradation and seeks to maximize the climate mitigation potential of critical ecosystems smallholders in complying with policy measures that prevent deforestation and enhance forest conservation. degradation The Plan to Conserve Global Forests: Critical Carbon Sinks represents a whole-of-government approach to supporting global efforts toward conserving global terrestrial carbon sinks. The goals intended to halve deforestation by, and stop it by But assessments have concluded we're actually further from stopping deforestation now than we were six years ago Reducing deforestation and improving forest conservation requires a combination of measures that respond to the country’s context and address the causes of deforestation. For example, beef, soybean, and palm oil are major drivers of deforestation in the Amazon basin In, governments, companies, NGOs and Indigenous groups committed togoals to protect trees, under the New York laration on Forests. Engaging with multiple actors and mobilizing funds from both the public and private sectors to support efforts to reduce deforestation and enhance forest conservation are important methods to achieve results across various scales One framework for understanding deforestation distinguishes between causes at different levels, as shown in Figure (Angelsen and Kaimowitz). At one level are the sources of deforestation, i.e., the agents (individuals, households or companies) responsible for clearing the forestThe main cent of deforestation worldwide. Large-scale commercial agriculture is seen as the biggest driver in Latin America, accounting for two-thirds of total deforestation, while in Africa and (sub) tropical Asia commercial agriculture is regarded as the driver for one-third of total deforestation. For ision-makers seeking to curtail deforestation, our meta-analysis of spatially explicit econometric studies suggests four promising approaches: Roads: Forest countries and investment banks should plan road networks to minimize intrusion into remote forested areas Eliminate Deforestation From Your Diet. Working with a Abstract This article updates our previous comprehensive meta-analysis of what drives and stops deforestation (Busch and Ferretti-Gallon). Many of the foods we eat are grown on lands that have been deforested for grazing and agriculture.
