Uganda landowners to not cut down trees, successfully reduced deforestation.</span> <span data-start-time='12625' data-end-time='27167'>For the program, researchers from Northwestern University and Porticus, a Dutch organization, studied 121 villages over two years.</span> <span data-start-time='27167' data-end-time='39792'>In 60 villages they offered landowners $28 a year for every 10,000 square meters of forest they did not cut down.</span> <span data-start-time='39792' data-end-time='51729'>To collect their data, the researchers used interviews, site inspections and satellite images to monitor forests around the villages.</span> <span data-start-time='51729' data-end-time='57563'>Uganda had one of the highest rates of deforestation in the world.</span> <span data-start-time='57563' data-end-time='68833'>It loses about 2.7 percent of their forest each year between 2005 and 2010.</span> <span data-start-time='68833' data-end-time='83917'>The study, published in the journal “Science,” found that villages in the payment program had saved 55,000 square meters of forestland more than other villages.</span> <span data-start-time='83917' data-end-time='90958'>In addition, there was not a rush to cut down trees after the program ended.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky' style='display:none;'><div
