Non-Government Organisations that have taken up the REDD forest pledge

The Wilderness Society have initiated a REDD forest pledge. (View the Forest Pledge PDF)

By signing this pledge, countries and Non-Government Organisations have promised to support inclusion of text for protecting intact natural forest and restoring degraded natural forest as a core objective of a REDD mechanism. This includes protecting the rights and interests of indigenous peoples and forest communities in such forests. A REDD mechanism will only be effective at reducing emissions if helps indigenous peoples to protect their local forests and recognizes that such forests have historically been cared for by them.
