Deforestation in Latin America, especially in the Amazon basin, is a major source of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide that contribute to global warming. Protected areas play a vital role in minimizing forest loss and in supplying key environmental services, including carbon sequestration and rainfall regulation, which mitigate the adverse impacts of climate change amid a rising tide of economic development in the region. The area of protected forest has expanded rapidly since 1980 to cover one-fifth of Latin America and more than two-fifths of Amazonia, a region whose rain forest captures some 40 percent of Latin America's carbon emissions. The reserve sector has traditionally suffered from severe underfunding, but the possibility of new resources being generated through financial compensation for “reduced emissions from deforestation and forest degradation” (REDD) or “avoided deforestation” under a new Kyoto protocol after 2012 could help strengthen the environmental and social roles of protected areas. However, a number of major implementation and governance challenges will need to be addressed.

Resumo

Resumo

La deforestación en América Latina, y en especial en la cuenca del Amazonas, es una fuente fundamental de gases de efecto invernadero como el dióxido de carbono que contribuyen al calentamiento global. Las áreas protegidas desempeñan un papel vital a la hora de minimizar la pérdida de territorio arbóreo y ofrecer servicios medioambientales fundamentales que incluyen la captura de carbón y la regulación pluvial con los que mitigar los impactos adversos que tiene el cambio climático en el contexto de una ola creciente de desarrollo económico en la región. El área de selva protegida se ha expandido rápidamente desde 1980 hasta cubrir una quinta parte de América Latina y más de dos quintas partes de la Amazonia, una región que captura el 40 por ciento de las emisiones de dióxido de carbono latinoamericanas. Estas reservas han sufrido tradicionalmente de una severa falta de financiación. Sin embargo, el hecho de que se hayan abierto nuevos recursos a través de compensaciones financieras ofrecidas mediante el programa de Reducción de Emisiones por Deforestación y Degradación (REDD) o por evitar la deforestación en el marco de un nuevo protocolo de Kioto tras 2012, podría ayudar a fortalecer el papel medioambiental y social de dichas áreas protegidas. Para ello, sin embargo, toda una serie de desafíos importantes a nivel de implementación y gobierno han de ser respondidos.
