About the Interim Forest Finance project (IFF) The Interim Forest Finance (IFF) project is a collaborative initiative of the Global Canopy Programme (GCP), the Amazon Environmental Research Institute (IPAM), Fauna & Flora International (FFI), the UNEP Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), and the United Nations Office for REDD+ Coordination in Indonesia (UNORCID). The IFF project advocates a strategic intervention by donor country and tropical forest country governments, and public financial institutions, to scale up public and private sector demand for REDD+ emission reductions, in the interim period between 2015 and 2020.
Predicting moisture dynamics of fine understory fuels in a moist tropical rainforest system: results of a pilot study undertaken to identify proxy variables useful for rating fire danger
The use of fire as a land management tool in the moist tropics often has the unintended consequence of degrading adjacent forest, particularly during severe droughts. Reliable models of fire danger are needed to help mitigate these impacts. Here, we studied the...
