2014-08-01 14:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Ecosystem Marketplace: José Maria Arara, Almir Surui, and Aureliano Córdoba all have three things in common: each is the leader of a traditional forest community of the Amazon; each lives in a country that nominally recognizes their rights to their forests; and each has used carbon finance to exercise and reinforce their rights. And they're hardly alone, according to a new study called "Securing Rights, Combating Climate Change", which was published jointly by the World Resources Institute (RRI) and Rights and Resources...

Those shining attributes have earned them plenty of nods from doctors and environmentalists alike, as we've reported. They're not among the most popular seafoods in the U.S., though, partly because of their fishy taste. But if you knew that eating these fish would mean shrinking your carbon footprint a wee bit, would that convince you to buy them over say, that bag of frozen...
