The project objective is to contribute to rural livelihood by improving benefits from forests established by local communities through rehabilitation of degraded forests. Specifically, it intends to participatively develop models and identify strategies and use them for management of forests established by local communities through rehabilitation of degraded lands to enhance biodiversity conservation, provision of goods and services and also determine mechanisms for payment of the services to ensure improve livelihood of local communities. Expected project outputs are: • Management models developed and strategies identified participatively; • Capacity of local communities and stakeholders built in developed models & identified strategies through theoretical training and field implementation; • The diversity and density of indigenous timber species and non timber forest products (NTFPs) in plantations increased; • Financial value of timber species before final rotation and farm-gate prices of NTFPs determined; and • Feasibility of designing and implementing PES scheme for degraded forests rehabilitated by local communities determined. |
