• Project description
  The project aims to help local community to continue to have access to their forest, and engage with several non‐timber commercial resource management activities within the Project Area. These activities will include: - Harvesting of non‐wood forest products; - Harvesting of non‐commercial timber for local housing and for cultural purposes - Extensive land-use planning - Community‐based monitoring of carbon stock changeraining of communities; - Land‐use planning with communities to identify land use and reduce impact of locally‐based drivers of deforestation. The project does not plan to plant trees but instead, to preserve existing forest. The project is first financed by public grants, and is expecting to be financially sustainable thanks to the sale of carbon credits.
