Hunting jeopardizes forest carbon storage, yet is overlooked in climate mitigation efforts http://www.focali.se/en/news/hunting-jeopardizes-forest-carbon-storage-yet-is-overlooked-in-climate-mitigation-efforts The loss of animals, often due to unregulated or illegal hunting, has consequences for the carbon storage capacity of forests, yet this link is rarely mentioned in high-level climate policy discussions, according to a new study from Lund University in Sweden and the University of Copenhagen in Denmark.No publishermolundBiodiversityCarbon sequestrationDefaunationEcosystem servicesForest governanceHunting2019-05-14T08:05:13ZNews ItemNot seeing the forest for the trees: The oversight of defaunation in REDD+ and global forest governance http://www.focali.se/en/articles/artikelarkiv/not-seeing-the-forest-for-the-trees-the-oversight-of-defaunation-in-redd-and-global-forest-governance Throughout the tropics, forests are increasingly devoid of larger mammals - a condition referred to as empty forests. Large mammals and birds fill important roles for forest structure and composition and their depletion have implications for the forests carbon storage capacity. This new article by Focali-member Torsten Krause shows that effects of defaunation are ignored in REDD+, which compromises not only the forest ecosystem function, but also the objectives of the program.
