The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Global land use change, economic globalization, and the looming land scarcity (2011, unknown): “A general equilibrium model showed that forest conservation and environmental protection in countries with a significant forestry sector would be associated with a leakage—mainly to developing, tropical forest countries—of at least 65% of the timber stock being protected locally (39).”
Moving ahead with REDD: issues, options and implications (2008, background): “For example, Gan and McCarl (2007) estimate international leakage as high as 42-95% in the forestry products industry.”
Payment for Ecosystem Services from Forests (2014, background): “This literature suggests significant cross-border leakage from forest conservation (Murray et al. 2004, 2007; Gan & McCarl 2007; Meyfroidt & Lambin 2009).6 Almost no papers empirically measure substitution slippage resulting from forest PES.”
