Tropical protected areas reduced deforestation carbon emissions by one third from 2000–2012
Abstract Tropical deforestation is responsible for around one tenth of total anthropogenic carbon emissions, and tropical protected areas (PAs) that reduce deforestation can therefore play an important role in mitigating climate change and protecting biodiversity and ecosystem services. While the ef...
