Help unchop a tree is one component of Maya Lin's What is Missing? campaign, which honours the animals, birds and plants which are in danger of becoming extinct. This short film, which was launched last month at the Friends of REDD vip event in Copenhagen, highlights the urgent need to halt the decimation of the worlds rainforests for both climate and biodiversity reasons. Mayas universal message about preventing deforestation and emotional connection to REDD make the video a unifying force among all REDD supporters.
Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) is an endeavour to create an incentive for developing forested countries to protect, better manage and wisely use their forest resources, thus contributing to the global fight against climate change. It rests on the effort to create financial value for the carbon stored in standing forests. In the long terms, payments for verified emission reductions and removals, either market or fund based, provide an incentive for REDD countries to further invest in low-carbon development and a healthier, greener tomorrow.
