More than 5 million people depend on #Mesoamerica's 5 forests. They keep 1/2 of Mesoamerica's carbon stores locked away.
But we are losing the 5 forests.
Today, we are participating in a conversation focused on addressing the drivers of deforestation. #NatureNow #ClimateSummit
@Global_Wildlife @Nature4Climate @radachowsky @WCSNewsroom @JoeWalston_WCS @WCS_Mesoamerica We must ...
-Address drivers of deforestation, esp. illegal cattle ranching
-Improve forest governance by strengthening management of PAs, community forests, and indigenous territories
-Improve livelihoods w/ forest-friendly and climate resilient economic alternatives #NatureNow
@Global_Wildlife @Nature4Climate @radachowsky @WCSNewsroom @JoeWalston_WCS @WCS_Mesoamerica @WCSAdapts Deforestation is only a part of the problem, says WCS's Tom Evans. It's also about the health of the forest.
Right now, we're speaking alongside @WWF and @UQ_News on trouble below the canopy. #NatureNow
@Global_Wildlife @Nature4Climate @radachowsky @WCSNewsroom @JoeWalston_WCS @WCS_Mesoamerica @WCSAdapts @WWF @UQ_News Forest degradation is a globally pervasive problem.
@Global_Wildlife @Nature4Climate @radachowsky @WCSNewsroom @JoeWalston_WCS @WCS_Mesoamerica @WCSAdapts @WWF @UQ_News For #ClimateCrisis, it's vital we address these threats below the canopy to #intactforests.
These forests are indispensable both as natural storehouses for carbon and as a carbon sink. #NatureNow #ClimateSummit2019
