The project seeks to produce a net reduction in greenhouse house gas emissions from deforestation (RED) of approximately 41,579,156 tCO2e by strengthening and improving the existing model of co-management arrangements in the MUZ between local residents and the national government, and by improving zoning, land use planning and enforcement. |
