    This paper examines whether cooperative
    behavior by respondents measured as contributions in a
    one-shot public goods game correlates with reported
    pro-forest collective action behaviors. All the outcomes
    analyzed are costly in terms of time, land, or money. The
    study finds significant evidence that more cooperative
    individuals (or those who believe their group members will
    cooperate) engage in collective action behaviors that

    The urgent need to limit anthropogenic
    carbon emissions has led to a global initiative to Reduce
    Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+).
    But designing national architectures for REDD+ that
    integrate local actions on forests with national-level
    outcomes and do so effectively, efficiently, and equitably
    continues to be challenging. One option to facilitate the
    design and implementation of REDD+ is to learn from the

    Indonesia

    The Government of Indonesia (GOI) is in
    the process of designing a national REDD+ mechanism to allow
    it to access donor funding in the medium term, and funding
    from a potential performance based mechanism in the long
    term. This policy brief is focused on the broad question of
    how REDD+ can address underlying community issues such as
    lack of access to forest land, and does not deal with the
    more specific questions of legal and institutional

    Reducing emissions from deforestation
    and forest degradation and enhancing carbon stocks (REDD+)
    has raised the profile of benefit sharing in the forest
    sector. Sharing benefits, however, is not a new concept.
    Previous work on benefit sharing (associated with
    intellectual property, forest and agriculture concessions,
    mining, and so forth) has focused on clarifying the concept
    and examining how benefit sharing could feed into broader

    As donors pledge growing support for
    protecting and managing forests to address climate change,
    the question of how to pay tropical countries to reduce
    their emissions from deforestation and forest degradation
    assumes greater urgency. Depending on the detailed
    implementation of REDD plus at a national and international
    level, forest nations may be able to secure funding from a
    range of sources, including donors and multilateral funds (a

    The European neighborhood and
    partnership instrument east countries forest law enforcement
    and second governance program will support the participating
    countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova,
    Russian Federation and Ukraine) in strengthening forest
    governance through improving implementation of relevant
    international processes, enhancing their forest policy,
    legislation and institutional capacity, and developing,

    Cameroon

    In 1994, the Government of Cameroon
    introduced an array of forest policy reforms, both
    regulatory and market-based, to support a more organized,
    transparent, and sustainable system for accessing and using
    forest resources. This report describes how these reforms
    played out in the rainforests of Cameroon. The intention is
    to provide a brief account of a complex process and identify
    what worked, what did not, and what can be improved. The

    This paper presents a framework for
    analyzing tropical deforestation and reforestation using the
    von Thunen model as its starting point: land is allocated to
    the use which yields the highest rent, and the rents of
    various land uses are determined by location. Forest cover
    change therefore becomes a question of changes in rent of
    forest versus non-forest use. While this is a simple and
    powerful starting point, more intriguing issues arise when

    Vietnam

    Vietnam's forests remain dependent
    on public resources, including international development
    assistance, for the delivery of public and private services
    that include timber production, state forest management,
    forest protection and biodiversity conservation, and
    extension and research. Public subsidies are also provided
    to smallholder forest owners to stimulate investments into
    the sector. For the Government it is important to

    The Forests Sourcebook is divided into
    two parts. The first contains an introduction to the book
    plus seven chapters covering topics associated with
    enhancing the contribution of forests to poverty reduction,
    engaging the private sector, meeting the growing demand for
    forest products, optimizing forest functions at the
    landscape level, improving forest governance, mainstreaming
    forest considerations into macro policy dialogue, and
