Subject | Keep clearcuts out of offset protocols |
Comment | Clearcuts have no place in the calculation of forestry carbon offsets. Natural forests sequester carbon, but a replanted clearcut site emits more carbon than it sequesters for as much as 20 years. Clearcuttin also decreases the ability of forests to withstand climate change. Natural forests also stabilize the soil and reduce flooding, while providing 60% of Bay Area water. Clearcutting increases flooding and soil loss and disrupts the water table. Please make sure that clearcutting is excluded from the calculation of forestry carbon offsets.
