Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) is considered as an important mechanism under the UNFCCC aimed at mitigating climate change. Although India has traditionally been characterized a low forest low deforestation (LFLD) country, this analysis suggests that there is significant deforestation and forest degradation occurring in India. Consequently, there is large potential for REDD+ activities in the country. [Source: Current Science]
