Getting ready for REDD+ in Tanzania: a case study of progress and challenges (2010, background): “In addition, the country has also developed pilot systems of locally based monitoring that involve communities in the collection of data on forest condition and also contribute to securing local forest livelihoods (Topp-Jørgensen et al., 2005; Verplanke & Zahabu, 2009).”

Ecosystem services and biodiversity in developing countries (2007, background): “Topp-Jørgensen et al.
