Appendix I: Letters of support

Letter of support from scientific experts

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.
