Limay Community Carbon Project, Nicaragua
 |
The project aims to improve the livelihoods of subsistence farmers in the Platanares watershed, Nicaragua.
Background
The project area covers 74 km2 and will support rural communities desperately in need of taking control of their resources.
Project Objectives
The aim of the project is to increase and diversify small farmers’ income through payments for ecosystem services and income from timber and sustainable forest products; and reducing forest degradation by easing pressure on the surrounding natural forest.
Project Activities
These aims will be achieved through the establishment of multiple small-scale native species forest plantations on smallholder land. Participants entering the project own underutilised land and must demonstrate that participating will not conflict with their subsistence activities, notably cattle ranching and agriculture.
Funding Required
The ability to purchase carbon offsets through Plan Vivo Standard Voluntary Emission Reductions (VERs).
