During last week’s G-8 Summit, world leaders “encouraged actions for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries (REDD) including the development of an international forest monitoring network building on existing initiatives”.
Le but est d'améliorer les connaissances sur les changements d’utilisation des terres, notamment la déforestation, le reboisement et l’expansion naturelle des forêts.
