Forests in Trouble??
Why forests:
Conserve biodiversity
Protect watershed services
Provide NTFP which are important for
community livelihoods (honey, fruits,
game, insects etc.)
Forests are carbon stores
linked to climate change..

CHALLENGES OF REDD+
Lack of transparency of benefit sharing
Delays on realizing benefits
Lack of knowledge on the project by other
stakeholders
Oscillations on market price of the certified carbon
credits.
Projects should have a wider community impact,
especially those that relate to cropping so that the
aim and objective of the project is fully achieved.
Low carbon prices
