• Project description
  The project will help the province avoid an estimated 85% of legal logging by using carbon finance to justify land reclassification and permanently eliminate the legal possibility of land conversion and logging. With carbon finance justification, areas currently zoned for logging will be reclassified as permanent protection forests and community-managed low-impact, limited production forest areas. This process will build on Governor Irwandi’s temporary logging moratorium and enable the Provincial government, in consultation with the national government, districts and Mukims, to design an alternative to the widely-expected continued logging and legal conversion Ulu Masen.
