REDD and destroy

2011 Urgent and ongoing danger

If you haven't heard of REDD that's not surprising, but perhaps you need to. It's an approach to climate change promoted by polluting corporations, northern governments and economists - and it's likely to destroy more than ever.

This is a request for urgent solidarity by signing a statement rejecting schemes for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD). The REDD Statement draws attention to the dangers including land grabs and the inclusion of REDD in the carbon market.

Please click on the link and read the document, sign and publicise it further. (It starts off a bit technical but it does explain things). Seizing and destroying the communities in the rainforests cannot be the solution. Thanks for reading.
