[...] Norway will pay $150 million to Gabon to battle deforestation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The deal is part of the Central African Forest Initiative [...] The partnership sets a carbon floor price of $10 per certified ton and will be paid on the basis of verified results from 2016 through to 2025.</p></em><br /><br /><p>According to <em>QZ, </em>since 2000, Gabon has created more than a dozen new national parks to help preserve the country's forests.
