Deforestation and forest degradation through destructive development such as illegal logging, extractive industries, infrastructure development, and fires devastates ecosystems in Africa and Asia and accounts for nearly 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions – while forest ecological services contribute billions, perhaps trillions to global economies. In order to limit the impacts of climate change, it will be necessary in the future to reduce emissions from the forest sector, even though existing financial incentives are not always enough to produce change. The Great Ape Survival Partnership (GRASP) partnered with UN-REDD and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology to overlay maps containing information on subterranean carbon stocks with information on great ape distribution in Africa and Asia
