livelihoods and carbon leakage in Panama

Marie-Claude spent the summer conducting her Master's fieldwork in the indigenous Emberá community of Ipetí in Panamá. There, she asked people about the history of their livelihoods and about their relationship to a reforestation (REDD+) project that took place in the community. With this information, she is hoping to answer questions about land-use and livelihood change in the community, and about the impacts and possible side-effects of the reforestation project. Stay tuned for her results!
