    The project is implemented in the commercial forest of Yong’an city, where forest coverage rate is 78.58% and the primary business within the project area is forest industry .The existing commercial forest was mainly comprised of Chinese Fir, Masson Pine and Broad-leaf tree, all the tree species are native to the project area. The main object of the project is to improve the forest coverage rate, protect local ecological environment, reduce carbon emissions and carbon sequestration by enhance the management level and converse logged to protected forest within the project area. The implementation of the project will result in significant carbon sequestration and improve the sustainable development of ecological system.
