Toyota funds project to promote conservation of southern U.S. forests

Friday, March 13, 2009

With a three-year, $1.49 million grant from Toyota, the World Resources Institute (WRI) is launching "Southern Forests for the Future," a WRI project designed to raise awareness of the threats facing southern U.S. forests and increase the amount of forest conserved or managed in a sustainable manner. The project aims to develop online time-series maps showing changes in southern U.S. forest cover over recent decades. It will also identify, develop and pilot test a portfolio of options that align economic incentives with forest stewardship.
