"Carbon that could be released through deforestation or forest degradation can be kept out of the atmosphere through the following land-use-based approaches:
Slowing or stopping the loss of existing forests, thus preserving current carbon reservoirs;
Adding to the planet's vegetative cover through reforestation or other means, thus enlarging living terrestrial carbon reservoirs;
Increasing the carbon stored in non-living carbon reservoirs such as agricultural soils;
Increasing the carbon stored in artificial reservoirs, including timber products; and
Substituting sustainable biomass energy sources for fossil fuel consumption, thus reducing energy-related carbon emissions."
