Description
Annabel Lim and co-authors map the forests hiding inside Southeast Asia's farm and logging concessions. Across four countries, some forty two million hectares of natural tropical forest sit inside land licensed for logging, palm oil, timber, and rubber. Clearing them would endanger key wildlife areas and release over a billion tons of carbon dioxide across thirty years.
The team prices rescue through carbon markets. Break even prices span a wide range, from modest to steep per ton. At strong prices, large tracts could pay for their own protection. The authors stress that carbon cash alone will not suffice; finance partners and firm policy must join.
