  • Project description
    The proposed small scale A/R CDM project activity plans to establish 365 ha of tree plantations on currently degraded grass and shrub land in Xuan Phong and Bac Phong communes. Carbon dioxide will be removed from the atmosphere and stored in carbon pools within the project boundary through the photosynthesis of the planted trees. Purpose of the proposed project activity is: - To rehabilitate degraded land and improve land productivity and environmental condition through reforestation. - To reduce the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by sequestration of carbon in forest carbon pools - To increase the income of the local people by timber production and sale of carbon credits.
