    Amazonia

    L’Amazonie brésilienne, qui abrite la majeure partie des forêts tropicales qui subsistent sur la planète, est rongée par une exploitation économique incontrôlée. Plus de 750 000 km2 de forêts ont déjà été rasés1 , principalement sous l’effet de l’agriculture industrielle, de l’élevage de bétail, de l’exploitation minière, de la construction d’infrastructures telles que des barrages hydroélectriques, de l’exploitation forestière illégale et de l’installation de nouveaux habitants qui découle de ces activités.

    Agroforestry systems and tree cover on agricultural land make an important contribution to climate change mitigation, but are not systematically accounted for in either global carbon budgets or national carbon accounting. This paper assesses the role of trees on agricultural land and their significance for carbon sequestration at a global level, along with recent change trends. Remote sensing data show that in 2010, 43% of all agricultural land globally had at least 10% tree cover and that this has increased by 2% over the previous ten years.

    Vietnam

    During revolution and national unification, Vietnamese government nationalized agricultural and forest land throughout the country. While agricultural land was de-collectivized in the Doi moi reforms since mid-1980s, the majority of forest and forest land has continued to be managed by state enterprises. For members of Vietnam’s 53 recognized ethnic minority groups, the formation of state-owned forest enterprises (SFEs) has meant the end of customary tenure arrangements, leading to exclusion from traditional lands used for agriculture, hunting, and collection of non-timber forest products.
