A step forward for M2M in the bigger scheme..

AUSTRALIA is to spend $30 million to protect forests on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, to tackle climate change.

The money will be used to provide incentives to local residents to preserve forests.

Logging forests releases greenhouse gases and is believed to be one of the major contributors to climate change.

Climate Change Minister Penny Wong said the project would protect trees on the mineral soils of the province of Jambi, and comes on top of an existing conservation project in the swamp forests of central Kalimantan.

Australia will not be able to count the greenhouse emissions saved against its own target to cut emissions.

But international negotiations over a new climate deal may allow countries to pay others to cut their emissions, then count the emissions savings themselves.

Australia has promised to send money to the developing world to help tackle climate change, as part of UN climate negotiations
