The Inner Mongolia Chao’er Forest Industry IFM Project (hereafter referred to as “the project”) is located in Hulun Buir City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, P.R.China. It is implemented by Chao’er Forest Industry Co. Ltd of China Inner Mongolia Forest Industry Group (hereafter “Project owner”) to protect the once logging forest. 
The proposed project is implemented in three forest farms under the jurisdiction of the Project owner, namely Dacongshan Forest Farm, Quansheng Forest Farm, and Taerqi Forest Farm. The project has 40,027.50ha commercial forest, whose ages ranging from sapling, middle age to mature forest. Before the implementation of the project, the forest within the project area was designed and planted as commercial forest, and logged annually according to the timber production plan approved by local forestry authority . In order to protect the forest ecosystem, improve the ecological environment, increase carbon sinks, reduce GHG emission reductions and slow down climate change, the project proponent decided to implement this improved forest management project activities from December 2017 to December 2077. And from the Project Start Date, PP has stopped the commercial logging in the project area and only allowed tending and managing. 
This project aims to protect 40,027.50ha commercial forest from logging. The Forest Conservation Project activities will be focused on forest resource supervision and monitoring. In order to supervise and monitor any disturbances that may affect the whole forest, a ranger team has been established to monitor the state of the forest with regard to diseases, illegal logging, hunting, fires etc. This ecosystem will then continue to provide its services to all the communities and entities that depend on it.
The project is expected to generate approximately 8,372,662 tCO2e with buffer deduction during the 30 years’ crediting period, with the annual emission reductions of 279,089 tCO2e.

The Inner Mongolia Chao'er Forest Industry IFM Project, implemented by Chao'er Forest Industry Co. Ltd of China Inner Mongolia Forest Industry Group, is located in Hulun Buir City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, P.R.China. This project aims to protect 40,027.50ha commercial forest from logging and encourage forest resource supervision and monitoring. 

Key Highlights:
- The project is implemented in three forest farms under the jurisdiction of the Project owner, namely Dacongshan Forest Farm, Quansheng Forest Farm, and Taerqi Forest Farm.
- The forest within the project area was designed and planted as commercial forest, and logged annually according to the timber production plan approved by local forestry authority. However, from the Project Start Date, PP has stopped the commercial logging in the project area and only allowed tending and managing.
- A ranger team has been established to monitor the state of the forest with regard to diseases, illegal logging, hunting, fires etc. This will help to supervise and monitor any disturbances that may affect the whole forest.
- The project is expected to generate approximately 8,372,662 tCO2e with buffer deduction during the 30 years’ crediting period, with the annual emission reductions of 279,089 tCO2e.
- By protecting the forest ecosystem, improving the ecological environment, increasing carbon sinks, reducing GHG emission reductions, and slowing down climate change, the project will continue to provide its services to all the communities and entities that depend on it.

This project is critical to preserving the once logging forest and protecting the environment. By implementing improved forest management project activities, the project will increase carbon sinks, reduce GHG emission reductions and slow down climate change. It will also provide benefits to the communities and entities that depend on the forest ecosystem.

Methodology for Improved Forest Management: Conversion from Logged to Protected Forest

Inner Mongolia Chao’Er Improved Forest Management Project

The Chao'er Forest Industry IFM Project is a forest conservation project in Hulun Buir City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China, covering 40,027.50ha of commercial forest. The project is focused on improved forest management activities and has a ranger team to prevent disturbances such as illegal logging, hunting, fires, etc. It is expected to generate approximately 8,372,662 tCO2e in emission reductions over 30 years.
