• Project description
  The proposed afforestation / reforestation activity, the Humbo Assisted Regeneration project, involves the restoration of indigenous tree species in a mountainous region of South Western Ethiopia. This project seeks to establish biodiverse native forest and support income and employment generation activities through assisted natural regeneration of the Humbo area. The implementation of farmer managed natural regeneration (FMNR) will be done over a period of three to five years. Species endemic to the area are used to restore the forest.
