CIFOR–ICRAF publishes over 750 publications every year on agroforestry, forests and climate change, landscape restoration, rights, forest policy and much more – in multiple languages.

CIFOR–ICRAF addresses local challenges and opportunities while providing solutions to global problems for forests, landscapes, people and the planet.

We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

Economic incentives to conserve orangutan habitat

Johannes Refisch, of the United Nations Environment Programme's Great Apes Survival Partnership, asks how we can provide economic incentives to conserve orangutan habitat - and reaches some interesting conclusions. The carbon value, plus the value of other ecosystem services, can make forest conservation more competitive than all alternative land uses. He gave this presentation at the 'Linking Great Ape Conservation with Poverty Alleviation' workshop hosted by CIFOR in January 2012.
