• Project description
  The Facilitating Reforestation for Guangxi Watershed Management in Pearl River Basin project is establishing 3000 hectares of multiple-use forests with mostly native species. This project aims to reduce threats to local forests and generate income for poor communities by enabling the carbon sequestered by reforestation plantations to act like a “virtual cash crop” for the local project beneficiaries. The overall objective of the project is to explore and demonstrate the technical and methodological approaches related to credible carbon sequestration and pilot the viability of enhancing the livelihoods of people and native biodiversity by facilitating reforestation activities in watershed areas along the Pearl River Basin. A total of 4,000 ha will be planted in different sites.
