About this project

Afforestation/Reforestation The proposed project “Building Climate Resilience through Afforestation, Reforestation & Agroforestry, Benin” involves carbon sequestration through Afforestation, Reforestation and Agroforestry in discrete parcels of fallow/degraded land with a focus on Small Landowners/ Farmers/ Tribals. This will also provide a range of ecosystem services including biodiversity enhancement, increase habitat for wildlife and supporting sustainable livelihood. The program’s objective is to restore 10,000 ha area with mixed plantation in human dominated landscape of the central and southern region of Benin. The project also aims to create jobs in rural landscapes by directly employing local communities in nurseries, plantations, and monitoring services. The VPA aims to sequester carbon leading to an estimated GHG emission reductions or removals (tCO2e) of approx. 98,469 tCO2e/year in the long-term project activity.
