Pay little, get little; pay more, get a little more: a framed forest experiment in Tanzania
Type:PublicationPublication date:Objective:How do different levels of individual payments for environmental services (PES) affect intrinsic and social motivations for forest conservation? Does introducing low levels of PES crowd out these motivations? This paper presents findings from framed field experiments (FFE) conducted with local forest users in Tanzania. The payoff structure represents a common-pool resource situation; participants’ payoffs depend on the number of trees harvested, and aggregate over-harvesting can harm future harvest.

REDD+ Pilot Projects in Tanzania 2009-2014
Type:PublicationPublication date:Objective:Seven NGOs implemented REDD+ pilot projects in Tanzania in 2009 - 2014. The pilots were funded by the Royal Norwegian Embassy to test and develop REDD+ readiness in Tanzania, including the verifiable reduction of carbon emissions from land-use changes.
The pilots had four main objectives:
• Building local REDD+ readiness
• Policy testing
• Delivering REDD+ results
• Supporting broad stakeholder involvementModelling aboveground forest biomass using airborne laser scanner data in the miombo woodlands of Tanzania
Final review of the project "Enhancing Tanzanian Capacity to Deliver Short and Long Term Data on Forest Carbon Stocks Across the Country" implemented by WWF Tanzania, Sokoine University of Agriculture, University of York (UK), WWF-US
Type:PublicationPublication date:Objective:“Enhancing Tanzanian Capacity to Deliver Short and Long Term Data on Forest Carbon Stocks across the Country” is a REDD+ pilot project implemented by World Wide Fund for nature (WWF) Tanzania in partnership with the Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA), University of York (from UK) and WWF US. The project started in January 2011. It was planned to be carried out in three years, but the project was put in standstill due to mismanagement of funds at WWF TZ for a year starting in March 2012.
Final review of the project "REDD+ Readiness in south west Tanzania" implemented by Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) Tanzania Program
Type:PublicationPublication date:Objective:The project was designed and implemented by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) Tanzania Program to build capacity and knowledge for Tanzania to participate actively in REDD+ activities, with a focus on the montane forests of the Southern Highlands. The stated purpose of the project was “to design and carry out a robust baseline study to provide methods for estimating deforestation, carbon sequestration, emissions and leakage in southwest Tanzania’s four most important forests covering 52,680 hectares”.
