  The project is jointly implemented by WWF Nepal and the Government of Nepal, to help the country build its REDD Readiness. The landscape level programme promotes landscape level biodiversity conservation through critical corridor and habitat restoration, species conservation and monitoring, working with local communities on development of alternative livelihoods and poverty reduction; supporting government agencies to strengthen law enforcement, especially related with wildlife trade; and promoting environmental awareness amongst communities and policy makers on conservation in the selected areas. The project has 2 phases: Phase I (2009-2010) focusing on carbon inventory in TAL; Phase II (2011-2013) focusing on technical aspects of REDD+ implementation, capacity building and baseline establishment.
