A summary overview of the analysis from the full Deforestation Fronts report.

The causes, pace, and magnitude of deforestation and forest degradation have changed over time. The way that different deforestation drivers are connected and the effects they have on forest ecosystems vary across regions. While progress has been made in halting forest loss and degradation, both continue at alarming rates. This report provides a comprehensive analysis of deforestation, connecting drivers and responses on a global scale.

WWF, ARPA-E, and FFAR convened stakeholders to discuss challenges and opportunities associated with the use of seaweed-based ingredients to reduce enteric methane emissions. This article published in Frontiers in Veterinary Science describes considerations and next steps for further development of seaweed-based feed ingredients as methane mitigants. 

The emergence of reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, and conserving, sustainably managing and enhancing forest carbon stocks (collectively referred to as REDD+) has generated great interest as a possible means of increasing support for the forest stewardship activities of indigenous peoples and local communities. If done well, REDD+ initiatives could contribute to strengthening community land and resource rights, empowering community-based management and diversifying livelihoods through participation in REDD+ activities.
