PROJECT OF FOREST PLANTATIONS IN THE TROPIC OF COCHABAMBA

 

SECTOR: AFFORESTATION & REFORESTATION

 

 
 

 

 

  Project Description:

  The Project will protect the river banks of the Sacta River, establishing native forests

  through reforestation with native endangered species. The reforestation will carry out in

  800 ha which are lands of communal property. Moreover, the forest which will be

  implemented will have a sustainable management and its wood extraction will serve to

  transform it in furniture, handicraft and building material.

 

  Project lifetime:

  30 years

 

  Accreditation period:

  30 years

 

  Estimated Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reductions:

  Up to and including 2012: 213,318.89 tCO2e

  Up to a period of 5 years:  152,370.63 tCO2e

  Up to a period of 10 years: 304,741.27 tCO2e

  Up to a period of 15 years: 457,111.90 tCO2e

  Up to a period of 30 years:  914,223.80 tCO2e

 

  Project Benefits:

  The project will mitigate the global warming through the carbon sequestration done by the

  Afforestation & Reforestation activities.

 

  Protection against the eroded basins located in the project area.

 

  Increase of the biodiversity through the afforestation with native species.

 

  Increase of the vegetal cover and the forest species and bushy species associated to the

  reforested species.

 

  Recovery of native forest species due to improve of the germplasm banks in situ and ex

  situ for these species.

 

  Erosion protection of the basins located in the project area.

 

 

  Efficient distribution of the benefits generated by the activities of the project.

  Poverty relief.

 

  Generation of new job sources through the project activities which will be implemented.

 

  Increase of the population income.

 

  Increase of the life quality due to habitat improves.

 

  Improve the nutrition levels owe to the increase in the agricultural production.

 

  The education and health levels of the populations are improved due to the increase in the

  economic incomes of the population.

 

  Total Project cost estimate:
