+Why is REDD important
1.2 billion of the world’s poorest depend on the forests for their survival
Local communities depend on forests as a source of fuel, food, medicines and shelter
Forests are home to 90% of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity
Indigenous and forest-dependent peoples are stewards of their forests.
Forests provide ecosystem services on local to global scales
More than just carbon
