The politics of conservation: using international carbon trading to protect forests and biodiversity

Carbon trading to reduce tropical deforestation is emerging as a leading strategy to combat harmful climate change while also potentially reducing threats to biodiversity.

Here, I briefly explain carbon trading and its rationale. I highlight some of the political and practical hurdles that carbon trading has faced, and continues to face, as an emerging strategy to reduce human-caused carbon emissions and to preserve biodiversity.conservation in this context helps to reduce carbon that is detrimental to humans well being and climatic change.
