Author(s)
Wildlife Conservation Society
Published
2013
Abstract
In 2001, the Government of Madagascar, in collaboration with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), created the 372,470-hectare Makira Forest Protected Area. The Makira REDD+ Project sells carbon credits generated from avoiding deforestation in order to finance the long-term conservation of this pristine rainforest system, containing rare and threatened biodiversity, improve community land stewardship and governance, and support sustainable livelihood practices for local people. This brief provides a short summary of the project.
