FORESTRY IN THE INTERANDEAN VALLEYS COMMUNITIES OF THE DEPARTMENT OF COCHABAMBA, BOLIVIA

 

SECTOR: AFFORESTATION & REFORESTATION

 

 
 

 

 

  Project Description:

  The rehabilitation of the degraded areas, which are located in the sub Andean region of

  the department of Cochabamba, through the suitable use of agroforestry techniques to

  the local ecosystems. It will be carried out through a reforestation of the interandean

  valleys with the purpose of CO2 sequestration in the lapse of 30 years. Besides, the local

  communities will take advantage of the periodically wood production.

 

  Project lifetime:

  30 years

 

  Accreditation period:

  30 years

 

  Estimated Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reductions:

  Up to and including 2012:  421,419 tCO2e

  Up to a period of 7 years: 316,080 tCO2e
