October 2009
10.15.2009 Stop Deforestation -- Stop Climate Change! Shrinking arctic ice. Increased tropical cyclone activity. Severe droughts. Scientists say we’re already beginning to experience the effects of climate change -- but it’s not too late to change the course. For more than 20 years, the Rainforest Alliance has been working to curb deforestation, responsible for 20 percent of all global greenhouse gas emissions. That’s more than the emissions from trains, planes and automobiles combined. 10.13.2009 Reflections on the State of China's Forestry Industry The Rainforest Alliance speaks with Xu Bin, project director of the Chinese Academy of Forestry, to get his thoughts on China's booming forestry sector -- and efforts to green it. 10.8.2009 New Report: Survival of Great Apes Linked to Responsible Forestry A new study by the World Wildlife Fund confirms what the Rainforest Alliance has long believed: responsibly managed forests can provide important conservation benefits for threatened and endangered species. Released in September, "Great Apes and Logging" concludes that Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified forests can be valuable additions to protected areas for great apes, while also functioning as corridors between their fragmented habitats.
