description REDD initiatives are more likely to succeed if they build on the interests of forest communities and indigenous people. More attention is needed to the balance of incentives, benefits, rights and political participation across levels of decision making, interest groups and administration.

The pressure to reduce deforestation needs to be spread across many levels to reduce the burden on forest communities.
