  • Project description
    The project aims to conserve wildlife and to reduce GHG in the Jambi region. Between 2009-2012 the project will: - Establish the carbon baselines for the project area to determine how much carbon is being lost / could be saved - Establish biodiversity and community baselines to determine how these will benefit through the impacts of reduced carbon emissions - Strengthen the environmental law enforcement framework required to implement emissions reductions - Establish the institutional framework for how carbon trading will practically operate in the Berbak area in line with Indonesian and market regulations - Obtain certification for a final Project Design Document
