プロジェクト概要
The Qianxinan afforestation project in Guizhou Province is located in Xingren City, Xingyi City, Ceheng County, Zhenfeng County, and Qinglong County, Guizhou Province, China. The project is to establish forest on the barren land to generate greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions and contribute to local sustainable development. The project is joint-implemented by the Forestry Bureaus of Xingren City, Xingyi City, Ceheng County, Zhenfeng County, and Qinglong County.
32,047 hectares of forest was established by directly planting on degraded lands in five cities and counties. Xingren City, Xingyi City, Ceheng County, Zhenfeng County, and Qinglong County belong to Qianxinan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province.
The project activity aims to:Sequester GHG and mitigate climate changeEnhance biodiversity conservation by increasing the connectivity of forestsImprove soil and water conservation in the Karst regionGenerate income and job opportunities for local communitiesThere was no natural renewal and reforestation before the project, and all sites were barren. The main objective species is cypress, which is native according to the baseline survey. The implementation of the project would reduce the GHG emissions by 9,393,374 tonnes of CO₂e in 20 years, with an average annual GHG emission of 469,669 tonnes of CO₂e.
