  1. Does clearing forests in places like #Papua #Indonesia, or clearing grasslands in #Cerrado #Brazil actually help create “sustainable” transport fuel?

  2. #TropicalGrassyBiomes like the #Cerrado of South America are under threat of degradation by #Forestization.

    Stop large-scale #TreePlanting in #GrassyBiomes. #Savannas are NOT "degraded forests".

    Stop mapping global "forests" in terms of vegetation height and woody cover alone. That leads to misclassification of savannas as #forests.
