Abstract

There are numerous financial and strategic solutions to conserve the world’s remaining forests. Essentially what is needed going into the future is mitigation of global climate change; conservation of large tracts of land; investable, scalable projects for the private sector; development of new financing structures; public funds used to leverage private financing; education and reduced public apathy; a new economic system that values natural capital; respect for local communities, Indigenous Peoples, and human rights; and policy matters.
