• Project description
  This project aims for ‘Triple Benefits’, namely, to create an alternative source of income for the local community, to protect and improve the habitat for plants and animals, and at the same time to stabilize the ecosystem functions of the watershed to ensure a steady supply of water and to help mitigate climate change through carbon sequestration. In this project, the following activities will be conducted on cropland and grassland: 1. Reforest 155 hectares with indigenous species suitable to bring back the forest condition and appropriate biophysical requirement of the site. 2. Establish 22 hectares of agroforesty from which the local communities derive additional income and improve the long-term productivity of their farms.
