• Project description
  REDD+ Project to mitigate climate change, protect rich biodiversity, and generate sources of income for poor communities, through forest governance, capacity building, and productive activities that will prevent selective logging of native forests, avoiding degradation and deforestation. Located in Buenaventura, Western Pacific coast of Colombia. Developed by BIOREDD+/USAID. The project objectives are threefold: (i) to mitigate climate change by reducing deforestation and forest degradation, and natural recuperation of already degraded forest lands; (ii) contribute to biodiversity conservation including High Conservation Values, and, (iii) foster sustainable development of local communities.
