About ID-RECCO Team Data Sources Citations Contributors
The table below presents the main data sources used to identify and characterize REDD+ projects and programs in the ID-RECCO database.
Additional sources of information are mentioned on each project’s page when you browse online. We use multiple data sources to gather and verify information about projects and programs.
