Ways forward for 'Deforestation free' - WWF Living Forest Report

According to the WWF Living Forest Report of 2015; some of the critical measures to curb the social, economic and environmental harm caused by deforestation fronts are:

  • Expanding and strengthening networks of indigenous reserves and protected areas along with governance arrangements. 
  • Presenting public and private sectors with strong evidences on valuation of ecosystem services, from forest and risks for depleting natural capitals.
  • Rolling out REDD+ with safeguards on a far larger scale.
  • Mainstreaming the concept of deforestation free as critical elements of sustainable supply chains and financing and ensuring it is applied in ways that balances the interest of stakeholders
  • Developing forestry friendly infrastructures that mitigate social and environmental impacts without undermining local economic opportunities
  • Using landscape approaches to integrate these elements and enable solutions at an adequate scale to achieve land use mosaics and balance trade offs among competing land uses.
