REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation) has the potential to be an amazing program, but only with strategic planning as well as careful management. While there are many benefits to the conservation of forest, a type of carbon sink which sequesters a large amout of CO2 emissions from the atmosphere, there are certain issues that can affect the programs effectiveness and success. One of these problems is leakage, which essentially is an increase of deforestation outside areas outside of areas where there are restrictions.
