This document presents preliminary maps and statistics about the area and carbon content of forests on lands that are highly suitable for industrial agriculture and those forests that have high concentrations of forest dependent people. Beyond these preliminary maps and statistics, an important goal of this report is to provide a conceptual approach to the mapping of the constraints to agricultural expansion imposed by soils, drainage, and climate as one component of the analyses that each nation must undertake in projecting future deforestation trends.

Indigenous Peoples and the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) mechanism in the Brazilian Amazon – Subsidies to the Discussion of Benefits Sharing

The purpose of this publication is to provide a better understanding on the contribution of indigenous perspectives to the discussion of REDD+ benefit sharing, based on some indig- enous’ points of view and experiences of the Amazon indigenous peoples in Brazil. More specifically, the aim from a participatory and consultative process is to provide support for the construction benefit sharing models for REDD+ programs, which actually promotes inclu- sion of these people, focusing on the Brazilian context.
