• Project description
  The specific objectives of the project are: - Sequester CO2 through fast growing forest plantations on savannah grassland with occasional scattered shrubs; - Supply the capital city of Kinshasa (8-10 million inhabitants) with charcoal through sustainable fuelwood production; - Reduce soil erosion and water loss through runoff; - Reduce degradation and deforestation of remaining forest galleries; - Alleviate poverty through the introduction of long term income enhancement mechanisms for local communities. To achieve these objectives, the A/R CDM project activity envisages establishing various types of forest plantation based on the four following silvicultural models: 1. Plots to be harvested : Acacia sp, Eucalyptus sp. And Pinus sp. Intercropped with cassava (3106.33ha); 2. Plots not to be harvested: mixture of local and exotic species intercropped with cassava (465.60ha); 3. Plots not to be harvested: various local and exotic species (421.80 ha); 4. Enhancement of natural regeneration through fire control (232.80 ha) Within the plots of Acacia sp., Eucalyptus sp, Pinus sp. And other local and exotic species, cassava will be intercropped between rows in order to provide a short-term cash-flow for project implementation and assist natural weed control.
