The USAID-supported Forest Carbon, Markets, and Communities (FCMC) Program commissioned this review of lessons learned from community forestry in Asia over the last three and a half decades. Efforts to promote Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) can achieve greater impacts if they build upon relevant lessons learned from experiences in community forestry.
