REDD projects

We identified municipalities where REDD projects occur because many projects did not have available GIS layers.

Cifor (2010), SFB/MMA (2009), Idesam (2010) and others, see STable 2.

* AD =Avoided Deforestation, ADG = Avoided degradation, RS = restoration, AGF = Agroforestry. (Modified from Cifor 2010).

Status of projects (in January 2011): “in progress” refers to projects that have already been implemented. “in preparation” corresponds to projects in an advanced stage of planning, “support program” corresponds to projects giving parallel support to REDD projects, and “early stage of planning” corresponds to areas that host planned, future REDD projects.

Any information regarding the locations of private projects not given online or in reports was obtained through direct contact with the projects (email, phone).

Most of initiatives were mentioned in the Cifor (May and Millikan, 2010), IDESAM (Cenamo, M. C., et al. 2009) and SFB ( SFB - MMA 2009) publications. We also cite other references below (All accessed by January 2011).
