Creating Carbon Sinks + green community livelihoods through regenerative forest and agroforestry management in Sigi, Central Sulawesi (CGCL)

About this project

Indonesia struggles with deforestation, biodiversity loss, as well as a high reliance on harmful agricultural practices, leading to decreased soil quality and low-quality harvests. Sigi District in Central Sulawesi is highly affected by these issues. To address this, the project will 1) Empower indigenous communities to promote Nature-based Solution through regenerative forest and agroforestry management on customary forest and land and 2) Enable access to green + circular livelihoods for indigenous and local communities, thereby encouraging the creation of carbon sinks and protecting forests from deforestation. This will be achieved through re- and afforestation of customary forests and land and by setting up a system for indigenous cooperatives for Carbon Credits-based livelihoods which is in line with the national Certified Emission Reduction system. Trainings and workshops on community forest management and agroforestry as well as on gender and social inclusion will be conducted, forest management plans developed and tree nurseries set up. The proposed measures are in line with national government commitments, strategy and regulations.
