摘要：Although the overall goal of redd+ is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and degradation and to increase carbon sequestration in forests, the way in which redd+ is designed and implemented will have a significant, and possibly unparalleled, impact on the conservation of biodiversity. If a redd+ mechanism is approved and successfully applied, it is expected to lead to significant reductions in tropical forest loss and degradation, provide unprecedented revenues to developing countries to retain their forests and manage them more sustainably (on the order of us$15 to 30 billion annually), and, more generally, lead to improved land tenure and governance of tropical forests, all of which will largely be beneficial for biodiversity conservation (Harvey et al., 2010).
