Two new reports warn that the increasing demand for food, fuel, and wood due to the world's population growth from six to nine billion will place unsustainable pressure on the world's remaining forests. This could lead to a significant rise in deforestation, contributing to global warming and creating conflicts with indigenous forest communities. Andy White, co-author of one of the reports, stated that without action, traditional forest owners and the forests themselves will suffer, resulting in more deforestation, conflict, carbon emissions, climate change, and decreased prosperity for all. RRI is a worldwide alliance of environmental and conservation non-governmental organizations that focuses on forest protection and management as well as the rights of forest peoples. According to White's report, a significant increase in agricultural productivity is needed to meet the food and biofuel demand by 2030, requiring an area of land equivalent to 12 Germanys to be cultivated. This land is expected to be primarily in developing countries, much of which is currently forested. The second report, "From Exclusion to Ownership", highlighted that governments in developing countries still claim ownership of most forests but have not taken sufficient steps to ensure the rights and tenure of forest dwellers. The report emphasized that those whose livelihoods depend on the forests are often the most effective guardians of the forests and their biodiversity. RRI stated that governments were not successful in preventing industrial encroachment on indigenous territories. The report highlighted the expansion of soy and sugar cane cultivation for biofuels in Brazil, which is projected to increase to 128 million hectares by 2020 from the current 28 million hectares, largely through deforestation in the Amazon. Ghanaian civil rights lawyer Kyeretwie Opoku expressed concerns about the lack of democracy, violent conflicts, and human rights violations outlined in the report. He emphasized the importance of addressing inequality by involving forest communities in decision-making processes related to industry and conservation.
