Context and importance of the issue
projected to lose up to 98% of their remaining forests in the next nine years
SE Asia 87% of worlds natural rubber
In some cases, the initiatives have ended up using “perverse incentives” which actually encourage deforestation. These include subsidies that facilitate forest clearance by funding conversion of forest to crops, or free provision of rubber seeds to replace natural forests.
21 million acres of rubber plantations will be required to meet our needs, spelling doom for biodiversity in parts of Southeast Asia
n countries such as the Philippines, deforestation has already removed 93% of the original forest cover, a tragedy in one of the two regions considered both a global biodiversity hotspot and a megadiversity country
