• Project description
  The project development objective is to pioneer carbon sinks in Colombia, through reforestation, agroforestry , on about 2,500 ha of abandoned pastures and through avoided deforestation and induced regeneration in about 7,300 ha of remaining forest stands in the valley of San Nicolas. By the inclusion of 20 native species for the reforestation activities and a program aimed at the recovery of populations of 3 endangered species, the project will contribute to restore biodiversity in abandoned pastures. The Project has a number of sustainable development objectives: - Generation of financial resources and improvement of livelihoods of small-scale landholders; - Sustainable management of watersheds; - Conservation of biodiversity; - Active participation and involvement of local communities, NGOs, government and the private sector of the area.
