• Project description
  The Central Suva area is one of the proposed pilot sites of the PNG Forestry Authority for REDD+ activities in PNG. Development remains in the early stages, but carbon baselines are being established, community mapping is taking place and emissions reductions strategies are being formulated. A feasibility study was conducted by GIZ in 2013. The study identified several potential activities for the demonstration site: - Reduced Impact Logging (RIL) activities; - Shift from logging to protection forest
