PROJECT TITLE (ID)
Demonstration on Sustainable Forest Management and Restoration in Hilly and Low Mountain Area of Southern China (2016P2-CAF)
EXECUTING AGENCY
Research Institute of Forestry, Chinese Academy of Forestry;
DURATION
48 months, Jan 2017- Dec 2020
GOAL
To promote restoration and sustainable management of forest which focus on the improvement of forest ecosystem productivity and forest carbon storage in hilly and low mountain area of Southern China. It is anticipated to bring forward forest restoration technologies and models. The results are expected to enhance both technological and management capacities of hilly and low mountain areas of Southern China in sustainable forest management and restoration, improve the quality of forest, increase forest carbon storage, improve living standards of local residents in the forest zone and thus set an example for its kind in the Asia-Pacific region in future.
OBJECTIVES
Developing and demonstrating effective technological methods and strategies on sustainable management and restoration of forest at landscape level;
Establishing the carbon accounting methodology for SFM and restoration at the project level; and
Promoting knowledge and experience exchange in SFM and restoration among Asian-Pacific region.
EXPECTED OUTPUTS
Output 1 Demonstration on Sustainable Management and Restoration of Forest
Output 2 Accounted Forest Carbon Storage and Sinks in Target Areas
Output 3 Enhanced Capacity Building and Information Sharing among the Stakeholders
