Payments to protect carbon stored in forests must increase to defend against rubber

Payments to protect carbon stored in forests must increase to defend against rubber Efforts to protect tropical forests in Southeast Asia for the carbon they store may fail because protection payments are too low. A new study finds that schemes designed to protect tropical forests from clearance based on the carbon they store do not pay enough to compete financially with potential profits from rubber plantations. Without increased financial compensation for forest carbon credits, cutting forests down will remain more attractive than protecting them. http://ift.tt/eA8V8J
