and the local use of forest biodiversity, mapping of degraded forest area, forest nursery establishment
and forest rehabilitation. Capacity building for local communities ( educational and trainings) on
forest nursery management, forest rehabilitation management. Demonstration of agro forestry to
improve food productivity.
Key Results:

100 hectares of total land area on the island under forest rehabilitation
Qualitative: Education awareness in impacts of deforestation, biodiversity and climate change is
secured in the local community. Local farmers are integrating tree replanting in their crops
gardenings for food productivity in the face of climate change impacts (cyclones and droughts).
Farmers are able to sharing their experiences with other communities in the other islands through
the local community (Vanua Tai) Resource monitors networks.
