• Project description
  Objective: To make operational a 700,000 ha pilot zone within the larger Sankuru Natural Reserve by strengthening community technical and institutional capacities. The project will support local stakeholders to develop a practical framework for participatory reserve management; build local natural resource management capacity to collect baseline data, conduct ecological monitoring, zoning, and enforcement, and plan sustainable development, poverty alleviation, and alternative livelihood programs to address poverty in the region. The expected results are: 1. To increase the protection of biodiversity 2. To prevent deforestation in the RNSA through a management system including a forest resource inventory, land-use planning and tools and techniques to control forest clearance through the reserve. 3. To develop a conservation finance strategy that will enable the reserve to qualify for carbon benefits and associated biodiversity and antipoverty credits central to the ‘fair trade’ project approach. 4. To improve the quality of life for residents in the RNSA 5. To foster a new model of partnership and institutional synergy through community management of the reserve.
