This study aimed to assess the potential and options to achieve co-benefits of REDD+ for carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation and livelihood improvement in shifting cultivation landscape. Carbon stocks and biodiversity in different land-use/land-cover types were inventorised from selected cultural landscapes. A socioeconomic survey was employed to assess the economic benefits of different land uses and the opportunity costs for alternative land uses. The integration of biophysical and socioeconomic data led to the identification of potential land-use practices to enhance carbon stocks and economic benefits, as well as biodiversity. Good land-use practices were demonstrated to local farmers and officials. The results of this assessment were used to train local stakeholders to manage, measure and monitor forest carbon pools.
