Community forest management in Mexico has become a powerful instrument to achieve forest conservation

A study to be released next week by the Mexican Civil Council for Sustainable Forestry (CCMSS) and the Rights and Resources Initiative (RRI) presents new research and analysis demonstrating how community forest management in Mexico has become a powerful instrument to achieve forest conservation, while at the same time improving local livelihoods. The authors of this document propose that under the current international efforts to reduce emissions from forest deforestation and degradation, community-based forestry should be taken in account as one of the best options to mitigate CO2 emissions.
