Swidden, rubber and carbon: can REDD+ work for people and the environment in Montane Mainland Southeast Asia? por Fox, J., Castella, J.C., Ziegler, A.D.

“…A deeper and more systematic analysis of the multiple consequences of these policies is consequently necessary for the design of successful REDD+ policies in MMSEA, and other areas of the developing world. REDD + policies should be structured not so much to 'hold the forest boundary' but to influence the types of land-use changes that are occurring so that they support both sustainable livelihoods and environmental services, including (but not limited to) carbon.…”
