Strengthening the integrity of Redd+ credits
The financing of tropical forest conservation projects through the sale of carbon credits remains a key opportunity to curb forest loss. Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD)+ projects generate carbon credits by reducing forest loss within the project area compared with a counterfactual area that faces similar pressures (known as ‘additionality’). Several methods are available for constructing counterfactuals, but co…
Nature-based credit markets at a crossroads
Evaluating the impacts of a large-scale voluntary Redd+ project in Sierra Leone
Carbon offsets from the REDD+ (reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation) framework to protect forests are expected to see a 100-fold increase in market value by 2050. However, independent causal impact evaluations are scarce and only a few studies assess benefits to communities themselves, a core objective of REDD+. Following a pre-analysis plan, we use a before-after-control-intervention (BACI) framework to evaluate the impact of a …
Realizing the social value of impermanent carbon credits
Densities of Bornean orang‐utans ( Pongo pygmaeus morio ) in heavily degraded forest and oil palm plantations in Sabah, Borneo
The conversion of forest to agriculture continues to contribute to the loss and fragmentation of remaining orang‐utan habitat. There are still few published estimates of orang‐utan densities in these heavily modified agricultural areas to inform range‐wide population assessments and conservation strategies. In addition, little is known about what landscape features promote orang‐utan habitat use. Using indirect nest count methods, we implemented …
