• Project description
  The project is a proposed carbon emissions avoidance, biodiversity and poverty alleviation project. It will conserve carbon stores in deep peat previously degraded by the 'Ex-Mega Rice Project', by avoiding proposed land use changes and reducing fire incidence in the region. The project proponent plans to help local communities prevent and control fires and to develop environmentally sustainable economic opportunities for improving their quality of life and prosperity. Specific objectives of the project are to: - Increase income and alleviate poverty of local communities by introducing and supporting sustainable economic activities; - Improve water quality by protecting peatlands that regulate stream flow, reduce erosion, and filter water; - Contribute to climate change mitigation by avoiding land use change and fire in peat swamp forest; - Enhance biodiversity conservation by protecting critical habitat for endangered species, such as the Bornean orangutan.
