Alto Mayo Protected Forest REDD Initiative, PeruCIFOR-ICRAF
To measure the success of REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation), it is crucial to first set baseline emissions from which the reduction can be measured in each project or region. In this presentation, Fabiano Godoy from Conservation International shared experiences with applying the VCS VM0015 model in the Alto Mayo protected forest of Peru in order to set baseline emissions.
Fabiano Godoy gave this presentation on 8 March 2012 at a workshop organised by CIFOR, ‘Measurement, Reporting and Verification in Latin American REDD+ Projects’, held in Petropolis, Brazil. Credible baseline setting and accurate and transparent Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) of results are key conditions for successful REDD+ projects. The workshop aimed to explore important advances, challenges, pitfalls, and innovations in REDD+ methods — thereby moving towards overcoming barriers to meeting MRV requirements at REDD+ project sites in two of the Amazon’s most important REDD+ candidate countries, Peru and Brazil.

to making biomass supply simple for
emerging bioenergy companies.
The Commitment:
Use the most environmentally sustainable
biomass available to supply emerging
bioenergy technologies - wood, energy
crops, MSW, etc.
6. Overview:
Woody biomass fundamentals
Lessons learned from the
forest products industry
The need to manage forests

Where there’s fire,
there’s smoke.

emitted more CO2 in one
day than all the cars in the
U.S. in one week.

Lasted 14 days.
27. The problem of forest density
“Many forests, particularly those on public
lands, have grown dangerously overcrowded
due to a century of fire suppression and
decades of restricted timber harvesting.”
4-10 times
more dense
Thomas Bonnicksen, Ph.D
30. GHG during decay
Unsalvaged trunks
contribute 300%
more GHG during
decay
“Nearly four years after fires burned more than
133,000 acres of national forest land in California, less
than one percent of those acres have been replanted.”
The Forest Foundation
31. The sustainable solution:
1. Salvage decaying biomass
to pay for forest management
2. Reforest to historic model
3. Mechanically thin vulnerable
forests for biomass

Direct - cultivating corn and energy crops adds
carbon to the atmosphere
– Tilling soil - releases Biogenic carbon
– Fossil inputs - fertilizer and diesel fuel
36. 1. CARB LCFS land use change
Direct - cultivating corn and energy crops adds
carbon to the atmosphere
– Tilling soil - releases Biogenic carbon
– Fossil inputs - fertilizer and diesel fuel
Indirect - Developing countries will deforest acres
to compensate for acres changed in U.S.
– Soy acres changed to corn acres in U.S. means…
– Amazonian deforestation to soy acres in Brazil
38. If we don’t create alternative fuels here…
Won’t that increase market demand
for creating it elsewhere?
