    The GNR REDD Project is a REDD project, developed in the buffer zone of the Gilé National Reserve in Mozambique, Zambezia Province. The GNR is managed by the ANAC (Administração Nacional das Areas de Conservação – the national public agency responsible for the management of protected areas), which is therefore the project proponent. In order to reduce deforestation, the GNR REDD project is developing several activities: 1) Creation of the reserve buffer zone; 2) Conservation activities inside the reserve, including monitoring by rangers; 3) Difusion of agro-ecology practices in the villages in the buffer zone; 4) Improvement of cashew conservation and value chain.
