Development of Forest Managment Plans for Cabo Verde

Project Title and Description

The Building adaptive capacity and resilience of the forestry sector in Cabo Verde (REFLOR-CV) is a four-year project funded by the European Union and implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization.

The main objective of the project is to increase resilience and enhance key adaptive capacity to address the additional risks climate change poses to desertification and land degradation in Cabo Verde at national level. This project strives to foster participatory forest management to adapt to climate change induced desertification and build community resilience in Santiago, Fogo and Boa vista Islands. In addition, this project aims at addressing national climate change mitigation targets, as indicated in Cabo Verde Intended Nationally Determined Contributions, by contributing to approximately 10% of the intended national reforestation target and CO2 removal. Finally, the main project objective supports national (terrestrial) biodiversity conservation by reinforcing current fragmented terrestrial ecosystems, decreasing habitat loss and encouraging natural regeneration.
