    Deforestation

    International reaction and strategies towards deforestation: 1. Many international organizations like the UN and World Bank have developed programs to curb deforestation through Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD). 2. There needs to be an increase in the area of forest permanently reserved for timber production to promote sustainable long-term management. 3. Sustainable forest management must be ecologically, economically, and socially sustainable to control issues like soil erosion and loss of soil fertility while also being viable long-term.

    International reaction and strategies towards deforestation:

    Here are some international efforts deployed to curb deforestation:

    1. Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation:


    Many international organizations including the United Nations and the World Bank have begun to
    develop programmes to curb deforestation mainly through Reducing Emissions from Deforestation
    and Forest Degradation (REDD).

    2. Increase the area of forest permanently reserved for timber production:


    The most serious impediment to sustainable forest management is the lack of dedicated forests
    specifically set aside for timber production. If the forest does not have a dedicated long-term tenure
    for timber production then there is no incentive to care for the long-term interests of the forest.

    3. Promote sustainable management :


    In order to promote sustainable forest management, it must be sustainable ecologically,
    economically and socially. Ecological sustainability means that the ecological values of the forest
    must not be degraded and if possible they should be improved (soil erosion should be controlled,
    soil fertility should not be lost…) However, management for environmental services alone is not
    economically and socially sustainable.

    4. Improve the information base and monitoring:


    Information on the global distribution of biodiversity and forest poverty is inadequate. Knowledge of
    how much forest, where it is and what it is composed of seems to be straightforward but surprisingly
    this most basic information is not always available. It is not possible to properly manage a forest
    ecosystem without first understanding it.

    5. Support and reforms :


    Campaigns that aims at reforming the large aid agencies that fund development projects should be
    supported as well as those Local campaigns fighting against specific projects such as mining, dams,
    industrial development and tourism.

    Impact of deforestation on climate change in Brazil:

    Brazil contains some of the most biodiverse savannas in the world, yet more than 46% of its original
    cover has been cleared to make way for crops and pastures. These large land-use transitions
    influence the regional climate by reducing evapotranspiration (ET), increasing land surface
    temperature (LST) and ultimately reducing precipitation.

    To date, land changes have caused a 10% reduction in water recycled to the atmosphere annually
    and a 0.9°C increase in average LST across the biome, compared to the historic baseline under native
    vegetation
