# Appendix I: Letters of support

We've asked scientists to write letters of support to substantiate our scientific decisions in this methodology. Specifically: 

* **Agroforestry scientists**. Biologists and specialists in entomology, herpetology, ornithologists, marine science, primatology, and apex predators. 
* Agroecologists
* **Advocates.** Organizations with a long track record in grassroots reforestation. There are fantastic practitioners across the globe with the influence and track record to comment intelligently. 
* **Indigenous groups and advocates.** Anthropologists, sociologists, ethicists, linguists, and ethnologists who truly understand the lifestyle, needs, and business practices of Indigenous, AfroDescendant, Tribal, or local community groups and are capable of advocating for them on a global stage. 

Letters are included before in order of submission.
