The [[Stern Review]] on the economics of climate change stated in 2007 that curbing [[deforestation]] was a highly cost-effective way of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. About 95% of deforestation occurs in the tropics, where clearing of land for agriculture is one of the main causes. One forest conservation strategy is to transfer rights over land from public ownership to its indigenous inhabitants. Land concessions often go to powerful extractive companies. Conservation strategies that exclude and even evict humans, called [[fortress conservation]], often lead to more exploitation of the land. This is because the native inhabitants turn to work for extractive companies to survive.</div>FuzzyBot
