Abstract: Although local communities and indigenous peoples are the main actors for REDD+ practices, their needs and perceptions have received little attention in the debates on REDD+, despite much rhetoric to the contrary. In this study, a Collaborative Forest Management (CFM) site was studied using a questionnaire survey administered to a CFM user group in order to understand CFM users' perceptions and knowledge of their forest and REDD+ and evaluate their expectations for potential REDD+ benefits. Specifically, the study investigated the following questions: Do CFM users know about REDD+? Are there any differences in the perceptions and expectations among nearby and distant users?
