Armadilhas de REDD e de outros projetos de conservação de florestas

This guide, published by Friends of the Earth International, warns forest communities about the risks associated with REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) and other forest conservation projects. It argues that these market-based mechanisms often lead to 'deterritorialization,' loss of cultural identity, and the erosion of community sovereignty through restrictive, long-term contracts.

• REDD and similar conservation projects often utilize deceptive practices to secure community signatures, including the use of technical language in foreign tongues and the offering of bribes such as pickup trucks in Brazil or outboard motors in Peru.
• Contracts for these projects are typically long-term, ranging from 30 to 80 years, and often impose severe restrictions on traditional activities such as agriculture, hunting, and the use of timber for construction, which threatens food sovereignty and cultural survival.
• The guide highlights a disparity in contract terms where companies gain extensive rights—including unrestricted access to territories and ownership of biodiversity benefits—while communities are burdened with costs, taxes, and the obligation to provide security for company personnel.
• The document asserts that indigenous lands are more effective at preventing deforestation than state-managed conservation units, suggesting that community-led management is a superior alternative to market-based schemes.
• The guide advocates for the rejection of all market-based conservation mechanisms and calls for public policies that guarantee land titles and support community forest management without the involvement of international financial institutions or corporations.
• The text argues that the primary responsibility for reducing greenhouse gas emissions lies with the industrialised North, and that REDD should not be used as a substitute for actual emission reductions in developed countries.
