Support to ecoguards in LBR and PMM, biomonitoring, research activities in LBR, ecotourism infrastructure etc. 2. Reforest abandoned and degraded land that can be then used by local communities to manage those areas for productive agroforestry. Natural regeneration of forests through fireprotection, planting of forests, creation of agroforestry activities and entrepreneurial training. 3.Promote sustainable land use by communities while improving their economic viability through diversification.
