    The project is a reducing emission from deforestation and degradation plus conservation and sustainable forestry (REDD+) project designed to protect 92,530 ha of unlogged native Congolese forest, legally designated as a selective logging concession. The main activity of the North Pikounda REDD+ Project is the cancelation of the planned degradation and deforestation activities and the decision to instead protect the forest area. The project will implement a series of actions divided into 4 sub-categories: - Carbon stock monitoring - Remote Sensed monitoring - Field Monitoring - Social Activities.
