WHAT ARE THESE PROJECTS?

o Forestry

o Forest Conservation (REDD+)

The REDD+ approach is to reduce the deforestation in a demarcated area by giving more monetary value to standing forests than to logged forests because mature natural forests are very important carbon sinks. The implementation of measures for monitoring and sustainable forest management is accompanied by a series of economic activities developed by and for communities in order to offer them an alternative to deforestation.

📍 Marajo, Brazil

📍 Yedeni, Ethiopia

📍 Rio Conservation, Peru

o Improved Forest Management

IFM consists of support conservation and species protection through improved forest management. The protection of biodiversity and its habitat has many impacts such as the reduction of carbon emissions and the protection of freshwater systems thanks to trees and roots that serve as natural filters. They have many positive impacts on the environment like limiting soil erosion and maintaining a high level of biodiversity.

📍 Appalachian Trail, USA

📍 Cheerokee Forest, USA

o Renewable Energy

Thanks to wind turbines, it is now possible to convert wind into electrical energy: the force of the wind makes the wind turbine rotor rotate, converting it into kinetic energy. The electricity thus produced is then injected into the local, regional or national electricity grid. The inclusion of wind energy in a country's electricity mix makes it possible to gradually replace electricity produced by non-renewable sources such as coal.

📍 Feng Po Po Wind, China

o Blue Carbon

Blue carbon projects refer to carbon captured or preserved by the world's ocean in peatlands, marine and coastal wetlands. The carbon stored in the sediments and plants in these wetlands is known as blue carbon. The projects focus on preserving and restoring those ecosystems. They have a positive impact on conservation of biodiversity, natural disaster risk reduction, poverty reduction with sustainable livelihoods in the coastal communities.

📍 Wontanara Mangroves, Guinea Bissau

📍 Deraytaw, Myanmar
