Description

The Inner Mongolia Keyihe IFM Project: Protecting the Forests of Oroqen Autonomous Banner The Inner Mongolia Keyihe IFM Project aims to protect the forests of Oroqen Autonomous Banner, Hulun Buir City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China. The project involves the Improved Forest Management (IFM) of the forests in the conversion of logged to protected forest. The area of the project activity spans across 20,526 hectares and includes Birch (Betula platyphylla) and Larch (Larix gmelinii) species. Key Highlights: - The project is implemented based on a valid and verifiable government-approved timber management plan for harvesting the project area. - The project activity converts logged trees into protected forests, reducing GHG emissions and promoting a healthier environment. - Biodiversity conservation and soil erosion control are two of the many environmental benefits the project activity contributes to. - Improved Forest Management (IFM) practices ensure that the forests' long-term health and viability are maintained. Protecting and managing the forests in Oroqen Autonomous Banner is crucial for mitigating climate change and preserving the local ecosystem. The Inner Mongolia Keyihe IFM Project contributes to sustainable development by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting biodiversity conservation, and controlling soil erosion. By protecting these forests, the project activity ensures that the natural resources of the region are preserved for future generations. The Inner Mongolia Keyihe IFM Project sets an example for sustainable forest management practices that can be implemented worldwide.
