FORESTS ARE THE LUNGS OF THE PLANET. LET'S STAND TOGETHER FOR TREES! “Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+)” is a global programme aimed at creating financial incentives for developing countries for improving conservation, sustainable management of forests, and for enhancement of forest carbon stocks. REDD+ has the potential to simultaneously contribute to climate change mitigation and poverty alleviation, whilst also conserving biodiversity and sustaining vital ecosystem services. Countries like Guyana are encouraged to develop national strategies and domestic capacity, while establishing a participatory approach with full and effective engagement of indigenous peoples and local communities in monitoring and reporting.
