Are conditional and realistic REDD+ mechanisms feasible? A case of a rich forested district in Indonesia: II. Profitability Analysis of Land Use Systems at District Level in REDD+ Feasibility

Profitability analysis is one out of three components used to estimate opportunity cost of REDD+ at district level of Berau. Two other components are carbon stock accounting/monitoring and driver analysis of land use/cover change. To upscale in landscape level, spatial analysis derived land use cover change during the period of study (1990-2005).

To quantify economic return of each main land use systems in Berau district, it provides clear comparison of benefit accepted by the
people, operators or other parties affected by designed land-use change intervention (REDD+)
