Why should tropical wetlands be part of climate change mitigation strategies?

This presentation specifically explores how tropical wetlands can be included in REDD+, a global scheme through which developed countries reward developing countries for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation. Because of the amount of carbon stored by wetlands, there are significant opportunities and challenges inherent in involving wetlands in REDD+. This presentation was given during a symposium on 'Sustaining Humans and Forests in Changing Landscapes', organised by the IUFRO Working Group on Landscape Ecology. Around 200 people attended the symposium, which was held on 5-9 November 2012 in Concepcion, Chile.
