Among the key projects under the Kyoto protocol is the REDD programs. REDD stands for Reduction of Deforestation and forest Degradation.
Deforestation is simply cutting down of trees. This is either through logging or burning in a forest deliberately for mostly land-use or commercial purposes. forest degradation could be used to mean reduction of capacity of a forest to provide goods and/or services. this includes the services of any ecosystem, ie supporting, regulatory,provisioning, cultural.
trees are important carbon sinks. carbon sinks to mean they absorb carbon from the atmosphere hence decreasing its content. hence the more trees there are, the lesser the carbon contents in the atmosphere hence the lesser the impacts of climate change. despite being a project in which people could benefit from carbon trading, to revive our own lands, rivers and even weather, how about planting a tree as often as possible. let us increase the tree cover in the country and rip our benefits
