REDD+impacts on the livelihood of the community and their involvement in the policymaking process
Abstract
With Global climate change, it is needed to control deforestation, degradation, conservation and implement policies for forest management. In this current industrialized century, local community forests (Guzara forest) play an important role in climate change. The basic role of Community forests to provide benefits to local resident communities and control unmanaged deforestation. In the past, studies have focused primarily on the REDD+ policies implementation in Pakistan. Here in this article, we highlight the role of local Communities and peoples in the implantation of REDD+ policies for controlling deforestation of community forests. In the article, we argue that local people’s non-participates for REDD+ policies implementation are also caused by failure to control deforestation, degradation, conservation of community forests. Furthermore, we argue that local community awareness, respondent and community interest are needed to be implemented through REED+ policies. Hence, community forests can be used as a large scale.
