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).
