Forests/TechInnovation – Protecting forests: Are early warning systems effective? (Eiji Yamada, Hiroaki Okonogi, and Takahiro Morita, Brookings)

In the last 30 years, the world has lost 180 million hectares of forest—greater than the total area of Libya. Forests, especially tropical rainforests, are often cleared by illegal operators to acquire open land for large-scale farming and mining operations, which poses a serious threat to global efforts to reduce deforestation.
