This certainly applies to the effort to end tropical deforestation, which is why I and my UCS colleagues have put a lot of emphasis on figuring out what causes\u2014and in particular, which businesses\u2014are the main drivers of deforestation. Unfortunately, a recent study indicates that that global corporations that have committed to ending the deforestation they cause, have got their priorities backwards. And it suggests that the NGO community\u2014and that definitely includes me\u2014may have had our priorities wrong too.   <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.ucsusa.org\/doug-boucher\/ending-tropical-deforestation-have-we-got-our-priorities-backwards?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_source=Forestry+and+Development-January+2017&amp;utm_campaign=F%26D+Jan2017&amp;utm_medium=email\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Continue reading&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"issuuembed\" style=\"width: 525px; height: 340px;\" data-configid=\"5597093\/43477091\"><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/e.issuu.com\/embed.js\" async=\"true\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Doug Boucher, scientific adviser, Climate and Energy | December 14, 2016, 4:30 pm <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":540,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[8,14,57,153],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bozovich.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2524"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bozovich.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bozovich.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bozovich.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/540"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bozovich.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2524"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bozovich.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2524\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bozovich.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2524"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bozovich.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2524"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bozovich.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
