There are two sides to fighting global warming - emitting less greenhouse gasses, and preserving the earth’s ability to absorb them. Sometimes, we're lucky enough to find projects that do both. A new set of Reduced Emissions from Deforestation in Developing countries (REDD) projects do just that.

Global forests are under intense pressure from agriculture, logging, and other land use. In both South America and Asia, thousands of fires can be seen from space during the ‘burning season’, as land is cleared for planting soy, making palm oil, and raising cattle.
