Developing Radio Partners and the World Bank are teaming up to produce a multi-part series of audio and video programs on how Indigenous peoples around the world are preserving their forests and land amid a changing climate. 

​

The world’s forests are critical in the battle against climate change because they capture carbon. In the long-run, trees are more valuable standing than as a resource for fuel and logging. However, this value needs to trickle down to the Indigenous Peoples for whom trees are also a source of livelihood. That is the goal of REDD+, a World Bank program that provides financial incentives to preserve forests throughout the world.
