• Project description
  Envirotrade’s Quirimbas Community Carbon Project is located inside the boundaries of the national park and will target agricultural communities in the Macomia, Quissanga and Meluca districts of the National Park. The large population in the park poses significant challenges to the management of resources and poverty and environmental degradation threaten this unique habitat. Forest management and conservation of soils and river catchment areas is essential to ensure the survival of fragile marine environments including the coral reefs in the national park. Project activities are aimed at developing sustainable land use practices with the targeted communities to provide socio-economic benefits (transform livelihoods) and protect and restore forest resources in the national park. This will involve the restoration of degraded areas in the park that were previously cultivated and are now abandoned or areas that have been illegally logged, an extensive agroforestry programme to stabilise shifting agriculture and assist farmers, the production and marketing of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) and sustainable community timber utilisation in designated areas.
